Brown inquiry re-opened, will miss Rams game

By Tom Canavan EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. >> Josh Brown’s future with the New York Giants and possibly the NFL is in jeopardy after police released journal entries and emails in which the placekicker admitted that he repeatedly verbally and physically abused his former wife.

The league reacted Thursday by re-opening 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 could not secure key testimony from the woman and other key witnesses. Meanwhile, the Giants announced before traveling to London that Brown would not make the trip before a game Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams.
