New York Giants kicker Graham Gano is under constant death threats once again after his performance on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers and now he might miss some time due to a herniated disc.

Gano has missed most of October after going on the IR with a groin injury, but came back on November 2nd for their game against the 49ers.

The veteran kicker went 1-for-2 in field goal attempts, making one from 22 yards out and missing the other from 45. 

On Thursday, Gano revealed that he has a herniated disc and that he has been dealing with death threats from fans and gamblers alike, one of which told him to "get cancer and die," detailing that this abuse has been going on for a few years now, but got worse after the 49ers game.

Gano is currently questionable for this week's matchup against the Chicago Bears on Sunday after receiving injections in his spine. 

But if Gano cannot play this week, the team already has backup Younghoe Koo on deck to be the replacement kicker. 

The 38-year-old Gano is 9-for-10 for field goals this season and 9-for-9 on extra points.
