The Giants placed Gano (hamstring) on injured reserve Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports. Gano's move to IR ensures that he'll miss at least the next four games while he recovers from the right hamstring strain he sustained during the opening kickoff of this past Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Commanders. The Giants replaced Gano on the 53-man roster with Greg Joseph, who was signed off the Lions' practice squad and will take over as New York's kicker beginning with this Sunday's game in Cleveland.

Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Monday that Gano (hamstring) will miss a "few weeks" due to the hamstring injury he sustained in Sunday's 21-18 loss to Washington, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports. Gano sounds like he'll miss at least Week 3 against the Browns, and the Giants then have a quick turnaround before taking on the Cowboys in a Thursday night game Sept. 26. In the meantime, New York could turn to kicker Jude McAtamney, who currently resides on the practice squad, though Daboll said the team also will host tryouts at the position.

Gano exited Sunday's game at Washington due to a hamstring injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. The Giants tacked Gano on to their Week 2 injury report Saturday with a groin injury, but he didn't have a designation ahead of this contest. He proceeded to suffer a new health concern during Sunday's opening kickoff, when he remained on the turf in serious pain. It's unclear who, if anyone, may handle placekicking duties for New York moving forward, but the team has deemed Gano doubtful to return.

The Giants added Gano (groin) to their injury report Saturday, but he doesn't have an injury designation and will play Sunday versus Washington, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. This is the first report of the veteran kicker dealing with a groin injury, but the issue doesn't appear to be serious since Gano wasn't given an injury designation. Nonetheless, fantasy managers who roster Gano may want to seek an alternate option since there's a chance that the issue could impact how New York elects to deploy him, especially in situations that would typically call for a long field-goal try. As it is, Gano's fantasy standing is shaky given the state of New York's offense -- the team put up only six points (all on Gano field goals) Week 1 against Minnesota.

Gano converted both of his field-goal attempts and didn't try an extra point in Sunday's Week 1 loss to Minnesota. Gano was one of the few bright spots for New York in the lopsided defeat, as he converted a 23-yard field goal in the first quarter and added a 50-yarder in the fourth. It was a much better showing than he had in Week 1 last year, when the veteran kicker missed both of his field-goal tries. Gano's fantasy outlook this season could be dampened by a potentially low-performing Giants offense, but he at least appears to be back to full health after missing the team's final eight regular-season games last year due to a knee injury.
