Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Wednesday that Gano (hamstring) won't be activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Eagles, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports. Gano has missed the required four games, but the veteran placekicker has not yet made enough progress in his recovery from his right hamstring injury to resume practicing. Greg Joseph should once again serve as the Giants' kicker Sunday, despite the fact that he missed both his field-goal tries during New York's loss to the Bengals in Week 6.

Giants coach Brian Daboll said Monday that he'll know Wednesday whether Gano (hamstring) will be able to come off IR this week, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports. Gano has been out the required four games after landing on injured reserve Sept. 17, but it's not certain that the veteran kicker will be ready to return this Sunday versus Philadelphia. Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports that Gano hasn't done much on the side while on IR, and he believes it'd be surprising if he suits up Week 7, but Daboll's comments leave open that possibility nonetheless. Daboll also indicated Monday that Greg Joseph -- who missed both his field-goal attempts Sunday in a loss to the Bengals -- probably will continue to kick for the team if Gano isn't back against the Eagles this weekend.

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.
