The New York Giants have placed kicker Greg Joseph on injured reserve (IR) with an abdomen issue after he popped up on Friday's injury report. Joseph is the second Giants kicker to land on IR this season,

This happened in Week 2, as well: Graham Gano popped up on the Giants’ Sept. 14 injury report with a groin injury before the team’s Sept. 15 road game at Washington. But the Giants didn’t elevate a backup kicker as insurance.

In the aftermath of the Gano injury, Joseph was signed off of the Lions’ practice squad. The Giants had auditioned a number of free agent kickers but opted instead for Joseph, who was waiting in the wings behind UFL star Jake Bates.

With Graham Gano still unavailable after getting hurt on the opening kickoff of the team’s Week 2 game at the Commanders, rookie Jude McAtamney is in line to be elevated from the practice squad and play. McAtamney, a 24-year-old from Northern Ireland, played two Division I college seasons at Rutgers.

The Giants placed kicker Greg Joseph on injured reserve with an oblique injury on Saturday that will force him to miss the next four games at minimum.

Former Derry Under-20 GAA player Jude McAtamney is making his NFL debut for the New York Giants against the Washington Commanders on Sunday.

From Celtic Park to the MetLife Stadium, Swatragh's Jude McAtamney has set his sights on a career in the NFL with the New York Giants.

The Swatragh-born placekicker broke a 39 year record when he was introduced late into the second quarter of Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Washington Commanders

As far as his performance goes from an NFL debut perspective, it was a good day for the former Derry U20 midfielder. McAtamney was a late addition to the active squad as usual kic
