Giants' Graham Gano: Makes one of two FG tries in return
Graham Gano went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and converted both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's Week 10 loss to Carolina in Germany.Gano returned to action for the first time since suffering a hamstring injury in Week 2. The veteran kicker's first chance at putting up points went awry, as he drove a 43-yard field-goal try wide right in the second quarter. Gano managed to bounce back from there, converting both of his extra-point attempts before drilling a clutch 42-yard field goal in the final 10 seconds of the fourth period to send the game into overtime. Despite his early miss Sunday, Gano seems to be recovered from the hamstring issue, and he'll almost certainly be the New York Giants' placekicker against Tampa Bay in Week 12 following New York's Week 11 bye.

Giants' Graham Gano: Cleared to play Sunday
Graham Gano (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Panthers in Munich, Dan Salomone of the New York Giants' official site reports.Gano had been listed as questionable heading into Sunday, but the Giants' decision to activate him from injured reserve Saturday while not elevating Jude McAtamney from the practice squad hinted that Gano was on track to be available in Germany. Before injuring his hamstring on the opening kickoff of a Week 2 loss to the Commanders and landing on IR, Gano converted both of his field-goal tries -- including one from 50 yards -- in New York's Week 1 loss to Minnesota.

Giants' Graham Gano: Set to return Week 10
The New York Giants activated Graham Gano (hamstring) from injured reserve Saturday, and while he remains listed as questionable, he's slated to play Sunday versus Carolina, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.Gano was designated to return from IR on Wednesday and logged a limited practice that day. The veteran kicker was limited again both Thursday and Friday, but the Giants saw enough from Gano to clear him for his first game action since Week 2, when he injured his hamstring on the team's opening kickoff in a loss to Washington. Greg Joseph (abdomen) had stepped in as the Giants' kicker before landing on IR, resulting in Jude McAtamney getting elevated from the practice squad in Week 9 to handle kicking duties.

Giants' Graham Gano: Remains limited Thursday
Graham Gano (right hamstring) practiced on a limited basis Thursday, Dan Salomone of the New York Giants' official site reports.In the wake of New York designating him for return from injured reserve Wednesday, Gano has put together back-to-back capped sessions as he tests out the right hamstring that he strained on the opening kickoff of a Week 2 matchup with the Commanders. If Gano isn't able to get back on the active roster for Sunday's contest against the Panthers in Germany, Jude McAtamney would be elevated from the practice squad to handle kicking duties.

Giants' Graham Gano: Returns to limited practice
Graham Gano (hamstring) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the New York Giants' official site reports.Gano missed the past seven games with a hamstring strain but could be available to play as soon as this Sunday against the Panthers in Munich after the Giants designated him for return from injured reserve earlier Wednesday. The Giants initially turned to Greg Joseph to replace Gano, only for Joseph to land on IR last week with an abdominal injury. The Giants elevated Jude McAtamney from the practice squad to handle kicking duties in last week's loss to Washington, and he'll likely be elevated again in Week 10 in the event Gano isn't ready to play in Germany.

Giants' Graham Gano: Set to practice Wednesday
The New York Giants designated Graham Gano (hamstring) for return from injured reserve Wednesday.Gano has been cleared to resume practicing with the Giants for the first time since Week 2 after missing the team's last seven games with a right hamstring strain. Jude McAtamney was elevated from the practice squad ahead of last week's loss to Washington to handle kicking duties, but with no other kicker on the 53-man roster at the moment, the expectation is that Gano will be ready to play this Sunday against the Panthers in Munich if he experiences no setbacks in practice.

Giants' Graham Gano: Could be nearing return
Graham Gano (hamstring) appears to be close to returning from injured reserve, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.The report is somewhat vague, as Raanan doesn't specifically note if Gano will be ready to resume practicing next week. Gano was placed on injured reserve Sept. 17 with a right hamstring strain, and the New York Giants have yet to open his 21-day evaluation window even though he'll be missing his seventh straight game Sunday against the Commanders. Greg Joseph had been serving as Gano's replacement, but after Joseph landed on injured reserve Saturday with an abdominal injury, the Giants signed Jude McAtamney off their practice squad to handle Week 9 kicking duties. Unless Gano starts practicing during the upcoming week, McAtamney could remain the Giants' kicker for their Nov. 10 matchup with the Panthers as well.

Giants' Graham Gano: Won't return Week 7
New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Wednesday that Graham 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' Graham Gano: Week 7 return uncertain
New York Giants coach Brian Daboll said Monday that he'll know Wednesday whether Graham 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.
