Pressed into emergency kicking duty Gillan missed his lone extra-point attempt and punted twice for 87 yards in Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Commanders. Impact After Graham Gano suffered a hamstring injury while chasing down Commanders returner Austin Ekeler on the opening kickoff, Gillan, the Giants' punter, was called upon to replace Gano for both kickoffs and placekicking. Gillan was unable to convert on a point-after try following Devin Singletary's first-quarter touchdown, prompting the Giants to stay away from Gillan on any placekicking opportunities that emerged the rest of the day. According to Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post, head coach Brian Daboll said that Gano will be out for "a few weeks," but the Giants worked out four kickers Monday and will likely sign one or elevate Jude McAtamney from the practice squad to fill in for Gano in the team's Week 3 game in Cleveland.
