For the second straight week, the New York Giants<\/a> have passed over recently signed kicker Younghoe Koo for a practice squad elevation in favor of Jude McAtamney.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old McAtamney signed with the Giants as an undrafted rookie free agent out of Rutgers following the 2024 NFL draft. He has remained on the team’s practice squad with a roster exemption as part of the NFL’s International Player Pathway Program.<\/p>\n

McAtamney was also elevated ahead of a Week 4 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers, in which he connected on two field goal attempts and one point after attempt (PAT).<\/p>\n

In two career games, McAtamney has hit all three of his field goals and both of his PATs. He has one activation remaining this season.<\/p>\n

The Giants also elevated linebacker Neville Hewitt from their practice squad. It is his third and final elevation. He was previously activated in Week 3 against the Kansas City Chiefs and in Week 4 against the Chargers.<\/p>\n

Finally, the Giants downgraded linebacker Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles (hamstring) to out for Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For the second straight week, the New York Giants have passed over recently signed kicker Younghoe Koo for…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":279282,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5122],"tags":[5229,8015,8019,11651,11142,1907,2074,144389,122506,144390,1318,22967,144394,11652,15738,144392,1571,5382,144393,144395,635,9004,405,403,4716,50,5226,5225,1232,12623,5228,5227,97170,450,1457,1451,14149,144396,112328,15737,45245,73479,62,1458,25468,67,586,132,5230,68,2969,9924,636,144391,96907],"class_list":["post-279281","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-america","tag-american","tag-american-football","tag-big","tag-big-ten-conference-football","tag-breaking","tag-conference","tag-demetrius","tag-demetrius-flannigan-fowles","tag-flannigan-fowles","tag-football","tag-giants","tag-hewitt","tag-hub","tag-knights","tag-koo","tag-national","tag-national-sports","tag-neville","tag-neville-hewitt","tag-new","tag-new-orleans-saints","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-new-york-giants","tag-news","tag-newyork","tag-newyorkcity","tag-nfl","tag-nfl-hub","tag-ny","tag-nyc","tag-orleans","tag-overall","tag-overall-positive","tag-positive","tag-rutgers","tag-rutgers-scarlet-knights-football","tag-saints","tag-scarlet","tag-smg","tag-smg-breaking-wire","tag-sports","tag-sports-news","tag-ten","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-usa","tag-wire","tag-york","tag-younghoe","tag-younghoe-koo"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/279281","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=279281"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/279281\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/279282"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=279281"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=279281"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=279281"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
