Bad news for the New York Giants — kicker Graham Gano has just tested positive for COVID-19 … hours after signing a big extension with the team.
The G-Men announced the test results on Tuesday … and while they did not name Gano directly, multiple reports confirm it is the 33-year-old leg.
“Last night, we were notified that a player tested positive for COVID-19,” the team said. “The player was immediately self-isolated, and the contact tracing process was initiated.”
The Giants say 2 staff members were sent home after being identified as close contacts … and the team facility will remain open for the time being.
It’s a huge bummer for Gano — the guy has been damn-near perfect this season — making 21-22 of his field goals … and all 16 of his extra-point attempts.

The Pro Bowl kicker was rewarded for his success on Sunday … signing a 3-year, $14 million extension to stay in NY through 2023.
The 3-7 Giants — fresh off back-to-back wins — are currently on a bye week … so hopefully, Gano will recover during the break.
