The hits just keep on coming for the New York Giants at the kicker position.
Veteran kicker Graham Gano has been in and out of the lineup all year long. First, he missed five games with a groin injury that landed him on injured reserve, and he's now dealing with a neck issue that forced him to sit in Week 10.
On Wednesday, we might be able to add yet another kicker injury to the list.
The Athletic's Dan Duggan reported that kicker Younghoe Koo, who filled in for Gano last week and nailed both of his field goals and extra points, was not spotted at practice on Wednesday.
Gano was not present, either.
The Giants added rookie kicker Ben Sauls to the practice squad on Tuesday, which was surprising at the time because he amounted to the fourth kicker on the roster between the 53-man group and the practice squad when you include Jude McAtamney.
Now that it looks as though Koo is dealing with an injury, the move makes more sense.
If Koo and Gano are both sidelined this week, the Giants will have to choose between McAtamney and Sauls, which is not an ideal scenario.
McAtamney failed miserably in his stint as the Gano replacement, and Sauls has never attempted a field goal or extra point in an NFL game.
