Joseph, a journeyman who has had stints with the Giants and Commanders this season, is in line to replace Anders Carlson as New York’s kicker in Week 17 after Carlson missed field goal tries in back to back games, including a fourth quarter miss last week against the Rams. Joseph most recently mad two of his three field goal attempts in Week 15 against the Saints as Washington’s kicker. Joseph could be the fifth kicker to suit up for the Jets in 2024.

Joseph signed with the Giants in the middle of September following a quad injury sustained by Graham Gano. He will now miss the next four games, at minimum while on injured reserve, opening the door for Jude McAtamney to make his professional debut in Week 9 agains the Commanders.

Graham Gano will be sidelined with a quad injury, which is why the Giants signed Joseph on Tuesday. Still, he will need to battle with McAtamney, who is currently on the practice squad, to see who gets to handle kicking duties on Sunday in a tough matchup against the Browns.

After recently signing with the Lions’ practice squad, the Giants are bringing in the veteran kicker. Joseph will fill the void for Graham Gano who missed the Giants’ Week 2 matchup against the Commanders.
