**East Rutherford, NJ** – The New York Giants suffered a potentially damaging setback in their opening drive against the Washington Commanders, losing their kicker Graham Gano to a hamstring injury. The injury occurred during a chaotic opening sequence that saw Commanders kickoff returner Austin Ekeler’s touchdown return nullified by a holding penalty.

While Gano’s return to the game is doubtful, the Giants are fortunate to have punter Jamie Gillan available to take over kicking duties.

The Commanders capitalized on the Giants’ misfortune, putting together a solid drive after Ekeler’s touchdown was wiped off the board. Quarterback Jayden Daniels led the charge, driving the Commanders into Giants territory before settling for a field goal to take a 3-0 lead.

The Giants will be hoping for a quick recovery for Gano, as they face a crucial season with playoff aspirations.
