Giants Sign Rookie Kicker Ben Sauls to Practice Squad

The move adds depth with Graham Gano’s return timeline unclear after a neck issue.

Overview

  • Ben Sauls joined New York’s practice squad on Tuesday, according to NFL Network reporting.
  • Graham Gano missed Week 10 with a neck injury, previously spent time on injured reserve with a groin issue, and has missed five games this season.
  • Younghoe Koo was elevated for Week 10 and made all his kicks, and he remains a potential promotion if the team needs a game-day option.
  • Sauls entered the NFL as a Steelers undrafted free agent, later spent time on the Falcons’ practice squad, and converted 81.2% of field goals and 98.4% of extra points at Pitt.
  • The practice squad now lists three kickers—Sauls, Koo and Jude McAtamney—with McAtamney holding an international player exemption.
