Giants Place K Graham Gano on IR Again as Kicker Shuffle Intensifies

Younghoe Koo is expected to handle kicks as Ben Sauls provides depth during Gano's minimum four-game absence.

Overview

  • New York placed Graham Gano on injured reserve with a neck injury, which he revealed is a herniated disc pressing on his spinal cord.
  • NFL IR rules sideline Gano for at least four games, making a Week 16 return the earliest possible date.
  • Younghoe Koo handled Week 10 duties and went 3-for-3 on kicks, and he is expected to take over the job.
  • Koo was not spotted at Wednesday's practice, introducing short-term uncertainty at the position, per The Athletic.
  • The Giants signed undrafted rookie Ben Sauls to the practice squad and still carry Jude McAtamney there, giving them multiple contingency options.
