"The Giants (0-3) were without a placekicker for most of last Sunday's 22-9 loss to the Chiefs after Gano got hurt moments before the game. Punter Jamie Gillan missed an extra point in the first half before Gano made a short field goal through pain late in the contest. Gano, 38, is on injured reserve for the third straight season. Koo was signed to the practice squad earlier this week after being released by the Atlanta Falcons. The 31-year-old made a Pro Bowl in 2020."
"Jude McAtamney will kick for the Giants on Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers. He was elevated from the practice squad Saturday after beating out Koo in a kicking competition this week. McAtamney, who played collegiately at Rutgers, was an International Pathway Player with the Giants as a native of Northern Ireland. He appeared in one game last season, making a 31-yard field goal and extra point."
