The New York Giants name rookie Dominic Zvada their starting placekicker for the regular season. Multiple outlets report that head coach John Harbaugh makes the announcement following the Giants’ preseason win over the New York Jets.
According to the reports, Zvada finishes the preseason with strong results and is presented as the player who has earned the job. Yahoo Sports and the New York Post both describe a kicking competition that Zvada wins, with Harbaugh confirming the decision publicly after the team’s final preseason game.
The articles agree that Zvada will begin the season as the Giants’ kicker and is expected to be on the field for the opening matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. While the sources vary slightly in how they frame the competition (“perfect preseason finale” versus “won the kicking battle”), they consistently attribute the decision to Harbaugh and link it to the preseason finale.
