Younghoe Koo: Cut loose by Giants
The Giants waived Younghoe Koo on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.After being cut by the Falcons following Week 1, Koo has now been booted off a team's roster for the second time this season following another erratic kicking performance. In Sunday's 29-21 loss to the Commanders, Koo knocked down all three of his point-after tries but failed to connect on field goals from 52 and 51 yards, with both attempts missing by fair margins. Altogether, Koo missed three kicks (two field goals, one extra point) on 18 attempts during his five-game run as New York's kicker. The Giants are expected to elevate or sign Ben Sauls off the practice squad to take over as their new kicker beginning with this Sunday's game versus the Vikings.

Giants' Younghoe Koo: Flubs potential FG attempt in loss
Younghoe Koo made his only extra-point try and didn't technically attempt a field goal in Monday's Week 13 loss to the Patriots.Koo was called upon to attempt a 46-yard field goal in the second quarter, but he stubbed his foot into the ground before making the contact with the ball, leaving holder Jamie Gillian out to dry on a play that went into the box score as a 13-yard loss rather than a FG try. That botched play was emblematic of the New York Giants performance as a whole in a game during which they were never competitive, and perhaps of the team's season as a whole, as New York has dealt with inexplicable mistakes and collapses multiple times en route to a 2-11 record. As for Koo, he's ironically still perfect on FG attempts since joining the Giants -- at least in official recordkeeping -- as he's gone 4-for-4 in that category along with 8-for-9 on PATs.

The New York Giants signed Younghoe Koo from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.Making his first appearance since the Falcons released him after Week 1 this past Sunday in Chicago, Koo made both field-goal attempts and both point-after tries in place of Graham Gano, who was diagnosed with a herniated disc in his neck.
