Overview
- New York placed veteran kicker Graham Gano on injured reserve with a groin injury, sidelining him for a minimum of four games.
- The Giants elevated Jude McAtamney from the practice squad to handle placekicking Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers.
- McAtamney, an International Player Pathway alum from Northern Ireland, has one prior NFL game with New York, making a 31-yard field goal and an extra point.
- Younghoe Koo, signed to the practice squad earlier this week after his release by Atlanta, was passed over and remains as depth.
- ESPN’s Jordan Raanan reported Koo shanked multiple kickoffs in practice, a factor that aligns with the staff’s emphasis on complete special-teams execution.
