Giants Activate Graham Gano, Plan to Roll With One Kicker vs. Eagles

The move follows a week of churn at kicker after Jude McAtamney’s costly misses led to his release.

Overview

  • Gano was activated from injured reserve on Saturday and will return Sunday in Philadelphia after a four-week groin injury absence.
  • He will be the only active kicker against the Eagles, despite earlier discussion of carrying a backup as insurance.
  • McAtamney was cut Tuesday after missing two extra points in a 33-32 loss to the Broncos and later rejoined the practice squad.
  • In four games, McAtamney went 2-for-2 on field goals and 9-for-12 on extra points, with three misses over the past two games.
  • Veteran Younghoe Koo remains on the practice squad as a fallback option behind Gano.
