Greg Joseph, the Lions kicker, has been signed by the Giants for their active lineup.
Kicker Greg Joseph’s time in Motown was brief.
After New York Giants kicker Graham Gano suffered a leg injury, the team decided to sign Joseph from the Detroit Lions’ practice squad to their active roster.
Joseph’s agent, Brett Tessler, announced the move on social media.
Gano appeared on the Giants’ injury report following a light Saturday walk-through but tried to play Sunday against the Washington Commanders.
Despite his efforts, Gano seemed to struggle pregame and was unable to play after completing his routine.
“I didn’t miss many field goals in warm-ups. Just bad luck,” said Gano. “My groin was what it was. Everybody deals with something in warm-ups. My hamstring felt fine.”
The Giants ultimately chose not to elevate their practice squad kicker, forcing the offense to attempt two-point conversions repeatedly.
Joseph had joined the Lions’ practice squad but was clearly behind Jake Bates, who remains perfect in 2024.
Joseph has also played for the Browns, Titans, and Buccaneers, and was part of the Buccaneers’ 2020 Super Bowl-winning team.
