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":""},"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":{"0":"post-279281","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-american","10":"tag-american-football","11":"tag-big","12":"tag-big-ten-conference-football","13":"tag-breaking","14":"tag-conference","15":"tag-demetrius","16":"tag-demetrius-flannigan-fowles","17":"tag-flannigan-fowles","18":"tag-football","19":"tag-giants","20":"tag-hewitt","21":"tag-hub","22":"tag-knights","23":"tag-koo","24":"tag-national","25":"tag-national-sports","26":"tag-neville","27":"tag-neville-hewitt","28":"tag-new","29":"tag-new-orleans-saints","30":"tag-new-york","31":"tag-new-york-city","32":"tag-new-york-giants","33":"tag-news","34":"tag-newyork","35":"tag-newyorkcity","36":"tag-nfl","37":"tag-nfl-hub","38":"tag-ny","39":"tag-nyc","40":"tag-orleans","41":"tag-overall","42":"tag-overall-positive","43":"tag-positive","44":"tag-rutgers","45":"tag-rutgers-scarlet-knights-football","46":"tag-saints","47":"tag-scarlet","48":"tag-smg","49":"tag-smg-breaking-wire","50":"tag-sports","51":"tag-sports-news","52":"tag-ten","53":"tag-united-states","54":"tag-united-states-of-america","55":"tag-unitedstates","56":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","57":"tag-us","58":"tag-usa","59":"tag-wire","60":"tag-york","61":"tag-younghoe","62":"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}]}}
