Overview
- New York announced Monday it released Jude McAtamney from the practice squad and signed German tight end Maximilian Mang to an international practice-squad contract.
- McAtamney appeared in five games over two seasons for the Giants, making all three field goals but missing three extra points, including two in a 33-32 loss to the Broncos.
- Roster rules on standard elevations led to his earlier promotion to the 53-man roster as Graham Gano’s injury replacement before he was waived and re-signed to the practice squad.
- Mang, a 6-foot-7 former Syracuse tight end, signed with the Colts as an undrafted free agent in May, was released last week, and has yet to appear in a regular-season game.
- The move occupies the Giants’ international pathway slot, while Younghoe Koo handles kicking duties with rookie Ben Sauls on the practice squad as Gano continues to deal with injuries.
