Giants suspend Janoris Jenkins after coaches say CB went AWOL

"As a member of this team, there are standards and we have responsibilities and obligations," McAdoo said in a statement. "When we don't fulfill those obligations, there are consequences.

The New York Giants announced Tuesday that cornerback Janoris Jenkins has been suspended indefinitely for a violation of team rules.

Jenkins was not in attendance Monday when the team met, coach Ben McAdoo said.

“At that point, neither myself nor any of the coaches had heard from Jackrabbit,” McAdoo said. “I did not speak with him directly until Tuesday morning.”

Jenkins will miss Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams, his former team.

"As a member of this team, there are standards and we have responsibilities and obligations," McAdoo said in a statement. "When we don't fulfill those obligations, there are consequences. As I have said before, we do not like to handle our team discipline publicly. There are times when it is unavoidable, and this is one of those times."

The Giants suspended cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie earlier in the season for violating team rules. He was reinstated after missing one game.

A Pro Bowl selection in 2016, Jenkins has one interception this year - a pick-six in the a 23-10 win over the Denver Broncos, the Giants' lone victory this season.
