Injury Neck
Est. Return 12/29/2024
Done with Giants
New York terminated the contract of Gono (neck) on Monday.
ANALYSIS
The Giants signed tackle Eric Smith in a corresponding move. Gono was believed to have suffered a career-ending neck injury before he was placed on the exempt/left squad list Wednesday, and this transaction may unfortunately indicate that those concerns were well-grounded.

The Falcons boast a brand-new coaching stuff and altered skill-position group, but Matt Ryan remains under center as the team seeks its first winning season since 2017.
2021 Fantasy Outlook
Gono started four games for the Falcons last season and looks poised to be the starting left guard in 2021. However, the 25-year-old lineman is expected to miss all of training camp with an undisclosed injury. This extended absence may allow offseason addition Josh Andrews or 2021 fourth-round pick Drew Dalman to earn the starting role.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Career in jeopardy
The neck issues that have recently surfaced for Gono could spell the end of his playing career, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old, who'd signed with the Giants this offseason after undergoing neck surgery while with the Falcons in 2021, had entered training camp feeling back to normal. However, Gono's first fully-padded practice session of camp prompted symptoms in the offensive lineman's neck, and he's now left the team to be further evaluated by the doctor who performed his procedure. The Giants have already placed an exempt/left squad designation on Gono for the time being, although he's slated to continue to be evaluated by the team's medical staff upon his expected return Friday.
