New York Giants Add Graham Gano to Injury Report, Expect Him to Play

Giants Kicker Questionable for Week 8 Matchup

Graham Gano did not practice on Wednesday due to a groin injury, but the New York Giants are expecting him to play in Week 8 against the Seattle Seahawks.

Gano was added to the injury report on Wednesday with a groin injury, which limited him in practice. However, head coach Brian Daboll said that he expects Gano to be good to go for Sunday's game.

If Gano is unable to play, the Giants could turn to punter Jamie Gillan to handle the kicking duties. Gillan has never attempted a field goal in an NFL game, but he did make 10 of 13 field goals in college at Arkansas State.

The Giants are hoping to have Gano back on the field this week, as he is one of the most accurate kickers in the NFL. Gano has made 88.9% of his field goals in his career, including 9 of 10 this season.

Gano's injury is not considered to be serious, and he is expected to be ready to play on Sunday. However, if he is unable to go, the Giants will have to rely on Gillan, who is inexperienced at kicking field goals in the NFL.

Injury Report Notes

• Gano is the only Giants player listed on the injury report with a questionable designation.
• Wide receiver Kenny Golladay (knee) and cornerback Aaron Robinson (knee) did not practice on Wednesday, but both players are expected to play on Sunday.
