GREG JOSEPH NEWS

Reaches injury settlement The Giants waived Joseph (abdomen) from injured reserve Thursday after reaching an injury settlement, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Joseph was placed on injured reserve Saturday due to an abdominal injury he likely picked up in practice. He joined Graham Gano (hamstring) on IR, but following the injury settlement, Joseph will now be on the lookout to join a new team assuming he clears waivers. In his six regular-season outings with the Giants, Joseph went 13-for-16 on field-goal attempts and 6-for-6 on extra-point tries.

Placed on injured reserve The Giants placed Joseph (abdomen) on injured reserve Saturday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact New York ruled out Joseph on Friday due to an abdominal injury that likely happened in practice, and he'll now join Graham Gano (hamstring) on injured reserve. Gano is closing in on a return to action, so even when Joseph is healthy again -- he can return Sunday, Dec. 8 against the Saints, at the earliest -- he may not have a gig awaiting him. As for this Sunday's game against the Commanders, the Giants have elevated Jude McAtamney from the practice squad to handle placekicking duties.

Won't play Week 9 Joseph (oblique) won't play Sunday against the Commanders, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Impact Joseph has been filling in for Graham Gano, who sustained a hamstring injury on the opening kickoff against the Commanders back in Week 2. With Gano still on IR and Joseph unavailable, practice squad kicker Jude McAtamney will be elevated for Sunday's game.

Makes all four FG attempts Week 8 Joseph went 4-for-4 on field-goal tries and didn't attempt an extra point Monday in a loss to the Steelers.

Impact Joseph provided all of the first-half scoring for the Giants, making field goals from 29, 39 and 44 yards out. He added to his ledger with a 48-yarder with just over five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter to bring New York to within eight points. The veteran kicker had gone 1-for-3 on field-goal attempts over the previous two weeks, highlighting how unpredictable his opportunities can be as part of a Giants offense that is averaging the second-fewest points per game in the league. Joseph's hold on New York's placekicker role is also unsteady, as Graham Gano -- who is on IR due to a hamstring injury -- is eligible to return and will likely do so as soon as he is back to health.

Makes lone kick Week 7 Joseph converted his only field-goal try and did not attempt an extra point Sunday in a loss to the Eagles.

Impact Joseph missed a pair of field-goal tries Week 6 but was retained for Week 7 with Graham Gano (hamstring) not yet ready to return. New York's offense was woeful against Philadelphia, so Joseph didn't get much of a chance to redeem himself, though he did score the team's only points on a 38-yard field goal just before halftime. Joseph is now a tolerable 9-for-12 on field-goal attempts on the campaign, but he'll likely give way to Gano as soon as the latter is able to return, potentially as soon as Week 8 against Pittsburgh on Monday Night Football.

Impact Joseph has served as the Giants' kicker over the last four weeks, but there were questions whether the team would stick with him after he missed both of his field-goal attempts in the Week 6's loss to the Bengals. However, Daboll told reporters Monday that the Giants would stick with Joseph if Gano is unable to return in Week 7. With Gano officially set to miss another week due to his hamstring injury, Joseph is in line for another opportunity Sunday.

Will retain role until Gano returns Joseph missed both of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's Week 6 loss to Cincinnati, but coach Brian Daboll said Monday that Joseph will continue to be the team's kicker if Graham...

Impact Joseph's pair of misses against the Bengals weren't excessively challenging by NFL standards -- he was wide left on both a 47-yarder early in the fourth quarter and a 45-yarder with under a minute left in the contest. Nonetheless, Daboll's comments suggest that New York may not be looking to try out another kicker with Gano's return from injured reserve looming. Gano is eligible to be activated this week, though Duggan believes "it'd be a surprise" if the veteran kicker is ready to return Sunday. That means Joseph is probably going to be the Giants' kicker for at least one more week, but he's not a particularly appealing fantasy option considering his performance Week 6. Joseph did go 8-for-8 on field-goal tries across Weeks 4 and 5, however, and he's made all six of his extra-point attempts across four contests.

Makes three field goals Week 5 Joseph converted all three of his field-goal tries and both of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 29-20 victory versus Seattle.

Impact None of Joseph's FG tries were very challenging -- his longest was from 38 yards out -- but he did his job well by coming through each time he was called upon. After missing his lone field-goal attempt Week 3 in his first game with New York, Joseph has since gone 8-for-8 on FG tries while making both of his extra-point attempts over his next two contests. The Giants offense has been able to push the ball down the field while struggling to get into the end zone in recent contests, which presents an ideal opportunity for Joseph to rack up points for fantasy managers.

Joseph's makes were from 52, 41, 38, 22 and 42 yards out. Through two games, Joseph has made five of six field-goal tries and all three of his extra-point attempts.

Will kick vs. Dallas Coach Brian Daboll said Tuesday that Joseph will serve as the Giants' kicker in Thursday's divisional matchup against the Cowboys, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Joseph made all three of his extra-point tries in his team debut during Sunday's win over the Browns, but he missed his only field-goal attempt from 48 yards out. The veteran will continue filling in for Graham Gano (hamstring) versus Dallas, but if he struggles again, it sounds like Giants could begin looking for another option.

Impact Joseph was signed off the Lions' practice squad to replace Graham Cano (hamstring) during his IR stint. However, after missing his lone FGA, it seems like the team may be open to bringing in other options. On a positive note for Joseph, he did make all three of his PATs in the win Sunday. The Giants face the Cowboys on Thursday, so if they do decide to make a switch at kicker, they'll need to do so quickly.
