The New Orleans Saints claimed veteran cornerback Janoris Jenkins off of waivers from the New York Giants on Monday, as first reported by NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero and Mike Garafolo. Because the Saints play on Monday night against the Indianapolis Colts, the formal acquisition of Jenkins and corresponding roster move will be delayed until Tuesday.
Jenkins was waived by the Giants with an injury designation after injuring his ankle during a recent game with the Philadelphia Eagles. His release also followed a social media dust-up between Jenkins and another user while he was receiving medical treatment during Giants practice.
