McCrane signed with the Lions' practice squad Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
McCrane hasn't kicked in an NFL game since 2018 and has since bounced around multiple franchises as a member of the practice squad. Most recently though he was a member of the DC Defenders in the UFL. The addition of the Kansas State product comes after the Giants signed Greg Joseph from Detroit's practice squad to replace Graham Gano who is out with a hamstring injury.

There is no injury or illness affecting starting kicker, Jake Elliott, so it appears the team will opt to use the practice squad spot on another postition. Thus, the journeyman kicker will now look for a new landing spot.
