EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The New York Giants waived defensive end Owa Odighizuwa on Tuesday, a day after he was suspended four games for violating the league's policy on performance enhancing substances.
"It is unfortunate that things have gone in this direction,'' general manager Jerry Reese said in a statement, "but we wish nothing but the best for Owa as we all move forward.''
He said on Twitter in March that he needed some time away from the game. He was at the Giants facility for the start of the team's offseason workout program, but then missed most of the spring as he dealt with personal issues.
