The Giants will likely have a new kicker on Sunday when they take on the Bears in Chicago.
Veteran Graham Gano did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday, and won't practice Friday due to a neck injury.
Head coach Brian Daboll told reporters before practice that Younghoe Koo is expected to step into the starting role for the Week 10 matchup.
"If Graham can't go, we'll go with Koo," Daboll said. "It's looking like that."
He added: "We'll see how he feels. I would assume it's going to be Koo. But we'll see how he feels, but he's not going to kick today."
The 38-year-old Gano has played in just five games this season after landing on IR with a groin injury, causing him to miss four games. He's gone 9-of-10 on field goals, with a long of 55 yards, and has made all nine extra point attempts this season.
When Gano was injured earlier in the season, Jude McAtamney was called up from the practice squad to handle the kicking duties. McAtamney made both field goal attempts across the four games he played, but struggled with extra points, going 9-of-12, including two misses in a 33-32 loss to the Denver Broncos.
He was released on Oct. 21 after the Broncos loss and later re-signed to the practice squad. \
New York signed Koo to the practice squad in September after he was waived by the Atlanta Falcons, as he was originally beat out for the fill-in job by McAtamney.
The 31-year-old from Ridgewood, NJ spent seven seasons with the Falcons, but was benched in Week 2 after missing a game-tying 43-yard field goal in their 23-20 Week 1 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Over his seven years in Atlanta, Koo went 178-for-205 (86.8 percent) on field goals and 166-for-173 (96 percent) on extra-point attempts. He earned a Pro Bowl nod in 2020 after going 37-of-39 on field goals, with a long of 54 yards, and 33-of-36 on extra points.
