Zvada, per head coach John Harbaugh, will open the season as the Giants' kicker, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
Zvada had been competing with Ben Sauls, but the former took every kick in Friday's preseason game and sewed up the job by going a perfect 3-of-3 on field goals and 2-on-2 on extra points. The rookie appears to have gotten back on track following a less-than-stellar senior season at Michigan, and he will now get a shot to show what he can do in the professional ranks.
