LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — New York Giants kicker Graham Gano injured a hamstring on the opening kickoff at the Washington Commanders on Sunday and was listed as doubtful to return.
Gano went down from being blocked while trying to chase down Austin Ekeler several seconds after a holding penalty on the Commanders negated what would have been a 100-yard touchdown.
The Giants added Gano to the injury report Saturday because of a sore groin but without a game status. They did not promote Jude McAtamney from the practice squad before facing Washington.
Punter Jamie Gillan began practicing kicks on the sideline immediately after Gano got medical attention. Gillan kicked in college at Arkansas Pine-Bluff and was an all-Southwest Athletic Conference selection at the position in 2018.
