Kicker Josh Brown has been placed on the Commissioner's Exempt List and is unlikely to play for the Giants again, according to ESPN.
Here's what the NFL rulebook says about the list:
"The Exempt List is a special player status available to clubs only in unusual circumstances. The List includes those players who have been declared by the Commissioner to be temporarily exempt from counting within the Active List limit. Only the Commissioner has the authority to place a player on the Exempt List; clubs have no such authority, and no exemption, regardless of circumstances, is automatic.
