As Graham Gano nears return from injured reserve, the Giants may consider having a second kicker active on Sunday in Philadelphia.
Gano's progress is being closely monitored, and his potential return could impact the team's kicking strategy. The Giants have been caught without a replacement kicker on multiple occasions when Gano has been unable to play.
A recent example was in Week 3 against the Chiefs, where Gano suffered a groin injury during pregame warmups and was unavailable for most of the game. He eventually came on to convert a short field goal in the fourth quarter.
