Giants reinstate Janoris Jenkins from suspension after one game

The Giants reinstated Pro Bowl cornerback Janoris Jenkins on Tuesday, the team announced.

Jenkins was suspended indefinitely last week for a violation of team rules after he did not show up last Monday when the rest of the team reported from the bye week. Jenkins missed Sunday’s game against the Rams, his former team.

After making the Pro Bowl last year, his first with the Giants, Jenkins has returned an interception for a touchdown against the Broncos, defensed six passes and made 24 tackles this season.

The Giants also re-acquired linebacker Deontae Skinner, who was most recently on the Raiders’ practice squad.
