The New York Giants have signed veteran kicker Greg Joseph from the Detroit Lions practice squad following an injury to their primary kicker, Graham Gano. Gano suffered a hamstring injury during the opening kickoff in Week 2 and is expected to miss several weeks, leading the team to place him on injured reserve. This decision comes amidst a string of kicking woes for the Giants, prompting them to work out four potential kickers before settling on Joseph. Meanwhile, former Derry footballer Jude McAtamney is reportedly closer to making his NFL debut, coinciding with the team's urgent need for a reliable kicker.
