Giants make upgrade right after NFL trade deadline

The New York Giants are trying to fix a major issue on their roster right now. No, it isn't the offensive line. It isn't the secondary depth, either. Nope, not the questionable group of pass catchers.

The Giants are signing a new kicker to replace the injured Graham Gano, according to Ian Rapoport.

Veteran kicker Randy Bullock is joining the Giants' practice squad.

The #Giants, after working out kickers today, are expected to sign FA K Randy Bullock, source said. He went 26 of 31 for the #Titans last year. Meanwhile, #Giants K Graham Gano is set to have knee surgery and land on IR.

In reality, the move may be an upgrade for the Giants kicking game. Gano was clearly hindered by his injury this season. He had made just 11/17 kicks this year after being one of the best boots in the NFL last season.

Bullock was solid for the Titans last season, hitting on 26/31 field goal attempts.

Gano will be placed on IR due to his surgery. It's an unfortunate break for the veteran who just signed an extension with the team before the season. Both sides are assuredly frustrated with the bad luck for Gano this season.
