Giants List Kicker Graham Gano Questionable With Groin Injury Minutes Before Kickoff vs. Chiefs

The uncertainty forced the Giants to prepare punter Jamie Gillan as their emergency kicker.

Overview

  • New York announced just before kickoff that Graham Gano, 38, was questionable with a groin injury after he was seen heading to the locker room during warmups.
  • Reporters observed Gano consulting with a trainer on the bench as Jamie Gillan took practice kicks into the net.
  • On their first drive, the Giants passed on a likely field-goal try and failed on 4th-and-3 from the Kansas City 28 with Gano's availability unresolved.
  • Gano later returned to the field and resumed kicking into the net, signaling an attempt to play as updates continued to develop.
  • Gano is the only kicker on the roster, leaving Gillan as the expected fallback despite just two career field-goal attempts, a scenario that echoes a prior in-season leg issue for Gano reported in 2024.
