New York Giants punter Jamie Gillan popped up on the injury report late in the week, and the team had to make some moves to find his potential replacement. With Gillan listed as questionable on the final injury report with a hamstring injury, the Giants held a competition for a handful of free-agent punters.

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll came under serious heat earlier this season when he let kicker Graham Gano play in a game with an already injured hamstring. That decision resulted in Gano being placed on injured reserve (IR) after aggravating the injury and appearing in just two games this season.
