• Greg Joseph: Reaches injury settlement

  8D ago • By RotoWire

  The Giants waived Joseph (abdomen) from injured reserve Thursday after reaching an injury settlement, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Joseph was placed on injured reserve Saturday due to an abdominal injury he likely picked up in practice. He joined Graham Gano (hamstring) on IR, but following the injury settlement, Joseph will now be seeking to join a new team assuming he clears waivers. In his six regular-season outings with the Giants, Joseph went 13-for-16 on field-goal attempts and 6-for-6 on extra-point tries.

• Giants' Greg Joseph: Makes lone kick Week 7

  25D ago • By RotoWire

  Joseph converted his only field-goal try and did not attempt an extra point Sunday in a loss to the Eagles. Joseph missed a pair of field-goal tries Week 6 but was retained for Week 7 with Graham Gano (hamstring) not yet ready to return. New York's offense was woeful against Philadelphia, so Joseph didn't get much of a chance to redeem himself, though he did score the team's only points on a 38-yard field goal just before halftime. Joseph is now a tolerable 9-for-12 on field-goal attempts on the campaign, but he'll likely give way to Gano as soon as the latter is able to return, potentially as soon as Week 8 against Pittsburgh on Monday Night Football.

• Giants' Greg Joseph: Will retain role until Gano returns

  10/14/2024 • By RotoWire

  Joseph missed both of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's Week 6 loss to Cincinnati, but coach Brian Daboll said Monday that Joseph will continue to be the team's kicker if Graham Gano (hamstring) isn't ready to return Week 7 versus Philadelphia, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports. Joseph's pair of misses against the Bengals weren't excessively challenging by NFL standards -- he was wide left on both a 47-yarder early in the fourth quarter and a 45-yarder with under a minute left in the contest. Nonetheless, Daboll's comments suggest that New York may not be looking to try out another kicker with Gano's return from injured reserve looming. Gano is eligible to be activated this week, though Duggan believes "it'd be a surprise" if the veteran kicker is ready to return Sunday. That means Joseph is probably going to be the Giants' kicker for at least one more week, but he's not a particularly appealing fantasy option considering his performance Week 6. Joseph did go 8-for-8 on field-goal tries across Weeks 4 and 5, however, and he's made all six of his extra-point attempts across four contests.

• Giants' Greg Joseph: Will kick vs. Dallas

  09/24/2024 • By RotoWire

  Head coach Brian Daboll said that Joseph will serve as the Giants' kicker in Thursday's game against the Cowboys, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports. Joseph made all three of his extra-point tries in his team debut during Sunday's win over the Browns, but he missed his only field-goal attempt from 48 yards out. The veteran will continue filling in for Graham Gano (hamstring) versus Dallas, but if Joseph struggles again, the Giants could look into replacing him with another kicker.

  Head coach Brian Daboll was non-committal on Joseph's future with the Giants after he missed a 48-yard goal in Sunday's 21-15 win over the Browns, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports. Joseph was signed off the Lions' practice squad to replace Graham Gano (hamstring) during his IR stint. However, after missing his lone FGA, it seems like the team may be open to bringing in other options. On a positive note for Joseph, he did make all three of his PATs in the win Sunday. The Giants face the Cowboys on Thursday, so if they do decide to make a switch at kicker, they'll need to do so quickly.
