The New York Giants have waived placekicker Jude McAtamney, who missed three extra points in the last two weeks, and re-signed cornerback Korie Black.
Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post was first to report the McAtamney news. Dan Duggan of The Athletic broke the re-signing of Black.
McAtamney kicked for four games in place of Graham Gano, who is on Injured Reserve with a groin injury. McAtamney went 9 of 12 on extra-point tries, with all of the misses in the last two games. His two misses on Sunday against the Denver Broncos were a crucial part of the Giants’ 33-32 loss. He made both of his field-goal attempts, but the longest was only 31 yards — shorter than an extra point.
The kicker against the Eagles this Sunday is likely to be either Gano, should he be ready to come off IR, or former Atlanta Falcons placekicker Younghoe Koo, who is on the Giants’ practice squad.
Black, a seventh round pick by the Giants in the 2025 NFL Draft, chose to join the New York Jets practice squad when the Giants waived him during cuts to the 53-man roster rather than rejoin the Giants on their practice squad.
Black was elevated to the game day roster twice by the Jets, playing 15 special teams snaps. The Giants had a need for cornerback depth with Paulson Adebo dealing with a knee injury.
