Latest on the Giants
First game vs Minnesota Vikings
Adoree’ Jackson walked through a door Monday he never considered to be closed.
Jackson returned to the practice field for the Giants for the first time since last season ended.
He spent more than five months as a free agent before re-signing a one-year contract Friday that represents a marriage of convenience between a player who needed another shot in the NFL and a team who needed help at cornerback.
“No animosity, no feelings, no ill intentions on my end,” Jackson said. “When I came in and saw everybody, it was like being at a family reunion. Like, ‘Damn, I haven’t seen you in a minute. Where have you been?’ When they hit me up, it wasn’t like I didn’t want to reach out or I didn’t want to pick up the phone. I understand that things [are] a business and I don’t ever want to put business with anything personal.”
