Giants veteran suspended

The New York Giants suspended veteran Dominque Rodgers-Cromartie after the cornerback left the team’s facilities before practice Wednesday. Coach Ben McAdoo announced the indefinite suspension after practice. The second-year coach had met with Rodgers-Cromartie on Tuesday and told

him that he would not be active for this Sunday’s game in Denver because of something the 31-year-old either said or did during Sunday’s loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Rodgers-Cromartie had left the bench and gone to the locker room during the second half, but he later returned. It is not known if the two exchanged words during the game. Rodgers-Cromartie, who had started three games, reported to the Giants headquarters Wednesday morning and then left. He was not available for comment. Roosevelt

Barnes, his agent, did not return a telephone call from The Associated Press. Rodgers-Cromartie told ESPN that he argued with McAdoo “about playing” during the game. He admitted to handling it “the wrong way, but to sit me a game had me hot, so I left.” He said plans to return to the team today.
