The New York Giants cut cornerback Janoris Jenkins Friday morning after the organization said he refused to acknowledge the “inappropriate and offensive language” he used while tweeting at a fan during Wednesday’s practice. Jenkins missed practice all week due to an ankle injury he sustained during Monday night’s loss against the Philadelphia Eagles. On Friday, head coach Pat Shurmur announced that Jenkins had been waived following an exchange with a fan on Twitter where he used a derogatory term. Shurmur made it clear at the time that he was disappointed in the player’s use of social media during practice. Thank you.”Jenkins was in his fourth season with the Giants and played in all 13 games this season.
