Should be noted Jenkins spent part of his bye week celebrating his birthday. Giants said they didn’t hear from him until Tuesday. https://t.co/PbGiAemfcC

Earlier this month, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie was suspended after he left the team facility in the middle of the week following a blowup with head coach Ben McAdoo.
McAdoo has voiced concerns about the mentality of his players this season, and it’s clear he is trying to establish some discipline. The Giants have won just one game and are out of playoff contention, so McAdoo is doing what he can to avoid losing the locker room.
Jenkins has appeared in six games this season and has one interception.
