New York Giants kicker Graham Gano sustained a hamstring injury during the opening kickoff in Week 2 against the Washington Commanders. After demonstrating discomfort in pregame warmups, his attempt to chase down Austin Ekeler resulted in a fall that forced him to leave the field.

Following the injury, punter Jamie Gillan stepped in to handle place-kicking duties. This incident marks the second consecutive game where the Giants faced injury-related challenges without adequate backup options.
