Overview
- Brian Daboll opened Gano’s 21-day IR return window and said the veteran will kick against Philadelphia if he is healthy enough to be activated.
- Gano, out four games with a groin injury, said he feels great after practice; special teams coordinator Michael Ghobrial noted a good midweek kicking session but said evaluations continue.
- The Giants waived Jude McAtamney following two missed extra points in the 33-32 loss at Denver, then re-signed him to the practice squad via the International Player Pathway exemption.
- Veteran Younghoe Koo remains on the practice squad as the likely alternative and could be elevated, though Daboll has not committed to dressing two kickers.
- Recent game-day kicker injuries have hurt the Giants, and the staff is considering an insurance plan as they decide by Saturday’s roster deadline.
