More on kicker Graham Gano

Dec 08, 2009

Updating a previous news story, Graham Gano was signed by the Washington Redskins today.

He was signed by the Ravens in 2009 but did not make the cut as Steve Hauschka got the job.

Before entering the NFL, Gano kicked for Florida State.

Gano has said his work ethic is something he takes pride in, "I plan on making that a mainstay in my career. My conditioning and preparation...".

We believe Gano is more than capable of making long field goals and he can place the ball well on shorter kickoffs.

In college, Gano handled pressure well, making his share of pressure filled field goals. In addition, he's actually not a bad punter as well.

On the down side, his kickoff distance could become an issue in the NFL.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
