Giants Release Kicker Jude McAtamney, Add German TE Maximilian Mang to International Practice Squad

The move reflects the team's use of its international practice-squad slot following weeks of kicker reshuffling.

Overview

  • The team announced Monday it released practice-squad kicker Jude McAtamney and signed German tight end Maximilian Mang to the international practice-squad spot.
  • McAtamney stepped in for injured veteran Graham Gano this season, converting all three field goals but missing three extra points, including two in a 33-32 loss to the Broncos.
  • Because of elevation limits, McAtamney was moved to the 53-man roster, then cut after the Denver defeat, later returning to the practice squad before this latest release.
  • Mang, a 6-foot-7, 265-pound Syracuse product, entered the league with the Colts as an undrafted free agent in May, was waived last week, and has not appeared in a regular-season game.
  • With Gano still managing injuries, the Giants have turned to Younghoe Koo and added rookie Ben Sauls to the practice squad earlier in November for kicking depth.
