Giants end Rodgers-Cromartie suspension

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -- The Giants have ended their suspension of veteran cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie for insubordination.

Team officials announced Tuesday that Rodgers-Cromartie was reinstated to the active roster after missing the team's game against Denver on Sunday night.

The team says Rodgers-Cromartie met with coach Ben McAdoo on Tuesday morning, then was taken off of the reserve/suspended by club list.

The 31-year-old veteran was suspended for leaving the team facility before practice last week. He also left the bench then returned in the second half of the Giants' loss to the Chargers, a move that prompted McAdoo to make Rodgers-Cromartie inactive for the Broncos game.

Rodgers-Cromartie is in his 10th season, with 26 tackles in five games this year with four starts.
