Overview
- The Giants cut McAtamney on Tuesday, two days after a 33–32 defeat to the Broncos in which his misses loomed large.
- He missed two extra points, including one with 37 seconds left after a go-ahead touchdown, and Denver answered with Wil Lutz’s 39-yard winner.
- According to ESPN, he became the only kicker in the last 40 years to miss two unblocked extra points in a game his team lost by one point.
- Graham Gano is eligible to come off injured reserve and Younghoe Koo remains on the practice squad, with Brian Daboll evaluating who will kick in Week 8 at Philadelphia.
- Because McAtamney has an international roster exemption, he could be re-signed to the practice squad without using a standard spot, though the team has not said if it will do so.
