The Los Angeles Rams have released kicker Brett Maher two days after he missed two field-goal attempts and an extra point in a seven-point loss to Pittsburgh. The Rams (3-4) didn't immediately sign a kicker Tuesday to replace Maher, who joined the team after training camp Aug. 30. The 33-year-old Maher missed a 53-yard field-goal attempt and a 51-yarder along with an extra point in the Rams' 24-17 loss to the Steelers.
New York Giants kicker Graham Gano has signed a three-year contract extension. The Giants announced the extension Friday ahead of their Sunday night season opener against the visiting Dallas Cowboys. The 36-year-old Gano has made 91.8% of his field-goal attempts since joining the Giants in 2020, the best percentage in franchise history for anyone with at least 50 attempts.
