Jude McAtamney, part of the International Pathway Program, played in one game for the Giants, successfully kicking a field goal and an extra point against Washington on November 3. His performance contributed to the team's special teams depth as he transitions from the practice squad to a reserve/future contract.

Jude McAtamney made his NFL debut as the Giants' kicker in a recent game against the Commanders, stepping in after Graham Gano's injury and Greg Joseph's abdominal issue. McAtamney's performance came during a challenging time for the team, as they faced a 27-22 loss.

Jude McAtamney is set to be elevated from the practice squad to fill in as the kicker for the Giants after Greg Joseph's unexpected absence due to injury. The 24-year-old from Northern Ireland previously played two Division I seasons at Rutgers. His elevation comes as the Giants continue to face challenges in their special teams, having already lost Graham Gano to injury earlier in the season.

Jude McAtamney, a native of County Londonderry, Northern Ireland, has been promoted from the practice squad to replace injured kicker Greg Joseph. A former Ulster Under-20 Gaelic football champion, McAtamney had a notable college career at Rutgers, where he played all 12 games in 2022, finishing 12-for-18 on field goals and leading the team in scoring with 59 points. He also set a Rutgers record with 40 touchbacks on 60 kickoffs in the previous season, earning Academic All-Big Ten honors.

Jude McAtamney, the backup kicker for the Giants, was not dressed for the game against the Washington Commanders despite starter Graham Gano being on the injury report. Gano injured his hamstring early in the game, leaving the Giants without a kicker, which severely impacted their ability to convert extra points. Activating McAtamney could have potentially changed the outcome of the game in New York's favor.
