Graham Gano (knee) was placed on the injured reserve Friday.

Fantasy Impact

Due to the timing of the transaction, Gano won’t be eligible to return from the IR this season. He could find a new team if he negotiates an injury settlement. Joey Slye will be the new Panthers kicker.

News has recently surfaced that the Carolina Panthers may have to place kicker Graham Gano on the injured reserve list to start the season.

Fantasy Impact

Gano's situation appears to not be getting any better putting his availability for Week 1 in great doubt. At this point it may behoove the Panthers to place their starting kicker on the IR list to start the season. Joey Slye is currently the team's backup kicker and could very well be their starter for Week 1 against the Rams.

The Panthers have placed Graham Gano on season-ending IR due to a knee injury.

Fantasy Impact

Gano has been replaced by Chandler Catanzaro as the team's kicker for the remainder of the year. Gano should be back next year in the same role considering he signed a long-term deal entering the 2018 season. He finished the season 14-of-16 on field goals and 30-of-33 on extra points.

Graham Gano has been ruled out Week 14 due to a knee injury.

Fantasy Impact

Gano will be replaced by the recently signed Chandler Catanzaro. Gano has had his struggles this season, and he's not worth holding through the injury as it's not clear when he'll return.

Panthers K Graham Gano was successful on his only field goal attempt and on both of his extra point attempts in Sunday's Week 13 loss to Tampa Bay.

Fantasy Impact

While Gano didn't miss a kick this week, he also didn't get very many opportunities to produce for his fantasy owners. There must be something in the water in Carolina, losers of four straight games since getting blown out by the Steelers a month ago. Gano will look to get back on track in Week 14 against the Browns.
