It would seem obvious that veteran Greg Joseph, signed this week to replace the injured Graham Gano, would be the New York Giants’ placekicker Sunday against the Cleveland Browns.
Special teams coordinator Michael Ghobrial, though, opened the door on Thursday for rookie Jude McAtamney to be elevated from the practice squad to handle that job.
“It’s going to be good competition,” Ghobrial said.
Still, it would be a major upset — and probably another personnel decision that would leave the Giants open to criticism — should McAtamney be the choice and ultimately fail on Sunday.
