Let go by New York Gano (neck) was cut by the Giants on Sunday, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.

Impact Gano will hit the open market after spending the last six seasons with the Giants. The kicker was limited to just six contests in 2025 as he battled a pair of groin and neck injuries, the latter of which required him to be placed on season-ending injured reserve in November. The transaction will save New York $4.5 million in cap space, per Dan Duggan of The Athletic, and the team already signed Jason Sanders to a one-year deal March 10, likely making him the team's starting kicker in 2026. Gano will now look to prove his health and latch on with a new squad this offseason.

Giants' Graham Gano placed on injured reserve for second time this season Giants kicker Graham Gano on Wednesday was placed on injured reserve with a herniated disc in his neck.

NOVEMBER 13, 2025 • NYPOST.COM

Moves to IR The Giants placed Gano (neck) on injured reserve Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact With his placement on IR for a second time this season, Gano's campaign is officially over after making five appearances and connecting on nine of 10 field-goal attempts and all nine point-after tries. Younghoe Koo is set to kick for the Giants in the short term, but the team also has Jude McAtamney on the practice squad as another option to handle placekicking duties.

No practice Wednesday Gano (neck) didn't take part in Wednesday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Gano hasn't practiced since being diagnosed with a herniated disc in his neck last Wednesday. New York hasn't made the move to place him on injured reserve, so he seemingly isn't poised to miss three games in addition to this past Sunday's loss at Chicago. Having said that, Younghoe Koo is set to kick for the Giants for as long as Gano is sidelined.

Ruled out Gano (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

Impact The Giants will bring Younghoe Koo up from the practice squad to kick this week. Gano didn't practice at all, which suggests he's in danger of missing time beyond Sunday.

NOVEMBER 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Still not practicing Gano (neck) won't practice Friday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Gano didn't practice Wednesday and Thursday either and is trending toward missing Sunday's game against the Bears. With that in mind, coach Brian Daboll said Friday he would "assume it's going to be" Younghoe Koo kicking for the Giants this weekend, but added that the team will see how Gano feels before making a final determination on that front.

NOVEMBER 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Status in question for Week 10 Gano (neck) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Before returning from injured reserve Week 8 and handling kicking duties in each of the Giants' last two contests, Gano had missed four games due to a groin injury. A new health concern has kept him from practicing Wednesday and Thursday, with Gano disclosing that he experienced discomfort in his neck last week and has since being diagnosed with a herniated disc, per Dan Duggan of The Athletic. He received a spinal injection Wednesday to treat the injury and is hoping that he'll be able to kick during the Giants' final practice of the week Friday. The Giants will assess Gano's condition following Friday's practice before deciding if he'll be ready to play Sunday in Chicago. If Gano ends up being ruled out for Week 10, head coach Brian Daboll said that Younghoe Koo will be promoted from the practice squad to serve as the Giants' placekicker, according to Evan Barnes of Newsday.

Tending to neck issue Gano didn't practice Wednesday due to a neck injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Gano was on injured reserve Weeks 4-7 due to a groin injury, and in two games since returning to action, he's combined to make three of four field-goal attempts and all five point-after tries. The Giants are still rostering two kickers (Younghoe Koo and Jude McAtamney) on the practice squad as insurance in the event Gano needs to miss any time. Ultimately, Gano likely will need to practice Thursday and/or Friday in order a chance to be active Sunday in Chicago.

OCTOBER 25, 2025 • GIANTS.COM

Activated from IR The Giants activated Gano (groin) from injured reserve Saturday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Gano is still listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, but his activated from IR -- coupled with the Giants not elevating Younghoe Koo from the practice squad -- indicates that he will be active for Week 8. Gano missed the Giants' last five games after sustaining a groin injury during pregame warmups in Week 3 against the Chiefs. He went 5-for-5 on field-goal attempts and 4-for-4 on extra-point tries in the two regular-season games prior to his injury.
