Giants' Ryan Santoso: Signs with Big Blue
Rotowire
The Giants signed Santoso on Friday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Santoso was in line to be the Jaguars' No. 1 place kicker after the team waived Elliott Fry (undisclosed) with an injury designation, but he was quickly replaced in Jacksonville by newcomer James McCourt. Graham Gano (concussion) is unlikely to play in the Giants' preseason finale against the Jets on Sunday, so Santoso was likely brought in as an emergency option until Gano is cleared for action, which is expected to be sometime before the regular season.

Ryan Santoso: Waived by Jacksonville
Rotowire
The Jaguars waived Santoso on Tuesday, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.
Santoso was slated to be the Jaguars' No. 1 place picker after the team waived Elliott Fry (undisclosed) with an injury designation. However, it appears the job is now wide open as Jacksonville currently has zero place kickers on their roster, though that'll likely change quickly. Santoso made four appearances last year -- three with Detroit and one with Carolina -- and went 4-for-5 on field-goal attempts but just 6-for-8 on extra-point tries. However, the soon-to-be 27 year-old will have to look for a new NFL opportunity heading into the 2022 campaign.

Jaguars' Ryan Santoso: Slated for No. 1 role sans Fry
Rotowire
Santoso is in line to be the Jaguars' top place kicker after the team waived Elliott Fry (undisclosed) with an injury designation Monday, John Shipley of Sports Illustrated reports.
Santoso is the lone kicker remaining on the Jaguars depth chart after the team waived Andrew Mevis at the end of July and Fry on Monday. Santoso made four appearances last year -- three with Detroit and one with Carolina -- and went 4-for-5 on field-goal attempts but 6-for-8 on extra-point tries. It's likely Jacksonville brings in more competition for Santoso before the start of the regular season, but for now, he appears to be the Week 1 starter.
