Giants’ Brown facing renewed NFL probe

Kicker Josh Brown’s future with the New York Giants — and possibly in the NFL — is in jeopardy after police released journal entries and emails in which he admitted he repeatedly verbally and physically abused his former wife.

The NFL reacted Thursday by reopening its investigation into a 2015 domestic- abuse complaint made by Brown’s former wife, though prosecutors said they were closing the criminal case without filing charges because they couldn’t secure key testimony from her and other key witnesses.

Meanwhile, the Giants said Brown wouldn’t make the trip with the team for their game Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams in London. The Giants said they want to review the new information released by King County lawenforcement officials in Washington and reach a decision on Brown’s future with them by next week.

Giants co- owner John Mara said he was upset about the new information about Brown’s history of domestic abuse.

‘‘ I want to get all the information we can get,’’ Mara said in a radio interview with WFAN- AM in New York. ‘‘ I am certainly disturbed by what we read. He has admitted to us that he abused his wife in the past. I think what is a little unclear is the extent of that, but what we have read about is obviously disturbing.’’

The NFL suspended Brown for the first game of the season for violating its personal- conduct policy.

A person with knowledge of Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy’s hamstring injury told the Associated Press he will be considered a game- time decision Sunday against the Miami Dolphins.

Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr. returned to practice on a limited basis after suffering a hip pointer against the Baltimore Ravens and said he hoped to play Sunday against the Rams in London.
