The New York Giants have decided to release veteran defensive back Jalen Mills before he could participate in any practices this summer. Mills was placed on the non-football injury list due to a calf strain he sustained upon arrival at training camp. Despite indications that he was recovering, the Giants deemed him expendable after three weeks of training camp. Mills, a former Super Bowl champion with the Eagles, has played 106 career games and was expected to contribute as a safety or nickel corner for the Giants.
