what happened to giants kicker

The New York Giants kicker, Graham Gano, suffered a groin injury during pregame warmups before their Week 3 game against the Kansas City Chiefs on September 21, 2025. This injury made his participation in the game questionable. Gano did play in the fourth quarter despite the injury and managed to make a 25-yard field goal, but he was visibly in pain and confirmed he was dealing with significant discomfort. The Giants had no other active kicker on their roster, and their punter, Jamie Gillan, was pressed into kicking duties, which led to a blocked extra point attempt. Gano's injury caused the Giants to face another kicking crisis, reminiscent of previous injury issues he had in prior seasons. The team did not activate their practice squad kicker Jude McAtamney for the game, leaving them with little backup. Gano's groin injury remains a concern, and the Giants are dealing with ongoing challenges related to their kicking game this season.
