Giants' Greg Joseph: Won't play Week 9
Greg Joseph has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Commanders due to an abdominal injury, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.Joseph had been filling in for Graham Gano, who sustained a hamstring injury on the opening kickoff against the Commanders back in Week 2. With Gano still on injured reserve and Joseph now unavailable after apparently picking up the abdominal injury during practice this week, the New York Giants will elevate Jude McAtamney from the practice squad to handle kicking duties Sunday.

Giants' Greg Joseph: Makes all four FG attempts Week 8
Greg Joseph went 4-for-4 on field-goal tries and didn't attempt an extra point Monday in a loss to the Steelers.Joseph provided all of the first-half scoring for the New York Giants, making field goals from 29, 39 and 44 yards out. He added to his ledger with a 48-yarder with just over five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter to bring New York to within eight points. The veteran kicker had gone 1-for-3 on field-goal attempts over the previous two weeks, highlighting how unpredictable his opportunities can be as part of a Giants offense that is averaging the second-fewest points per game in the league. Joseph's hold on New York's placekicker role is also unsteady, as Graham Gano -- who is on IR due to a hamstring injury -- is eligible to return and will likely do so as soon as he is back to health.

Giants' Greg Joseph: Makes lone kick Week 7
Greg 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: Kicking again in Week 7
Greg Joseph is expected to serve as the New York Giants' kicker for Sunday's game against the Eagles after head coach Brian Daboll said Wednesday that Graham Gano (hamstring) won't return from injured reserve this week, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.Joseph has kicked for the Giants over the past four games, but it wasn't immediately clear whether the team would stick with him after he missed both of his field-goal attempts in the Week 6 loss to the Bengals. However, with Gano out for another week and the Giants bringing in no other kickers this week, Joseph will be in line for another opportunity Sunday.

Giants' Greg Joseph: Will retain role until Gano returns
Greg 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 New York 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: Makes three field goals Week 5
Greg Joseph converted all three of his field-goal tries and both of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 29-20 victory versus Seattle.None of Joseph's FG tries were very challenging -- his longest was from 38 yards out -- but he did his job well by coming through each time he was called upon. After missing his lone field-goal attempt Week 3 in his first game with New York, Joseph has since gone 8-for-8 on FG tries while making both of his extra-point attempts over his next two contests. The New York Giants offense has been able to push the ball down the field while struggling to get into the end zone in recent contests, which presents an ideal opportunity for Joseph to rack up points for fantasy managers.

Giants' Greg Joseph: Will kick vs. Dallas

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.

Giants' Greg Joseph: Misses in debut with team
Head coach Brian Daboll was non-committal on Greg Joseph's future with the New York 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.

Giants' Greg Joseph: Replacing injured Gano in New York
The New York Giants signed Greg Joseph off the Lions' practice squad on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.After losing the battle for the Packers' kicking job at the end of training camp, Joseph had to wait just two weeks before getting an opportunity with another team. With the Giants, he'll be serving as a short-term replacement for Graham Gano, who is expected to miss multiple weeks after straining his right hamstring in this past Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Commanders. The 30-year-old Joseph has appeared in 51 games with the Browns, Titans and Vikings over parts of five NFL seasons, converting 82.6 percent of his field-goal tries.
