EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Mykkele Thompson's career with the New York Giants officially lasted a little more than two years and covered one game. He was credited with one tackle. The cornerback injured his knee in that Week 2 contest last year against the New Orleans Saints.
That is the story of Thompson's Giants career, which ended Thursday when he was waived with an injury designation. Former Purdue linebacker Jimmy Herman, who attended the Giants' rookie minicamp on a tryout earlier this year, was signed to fill the roster spot.
Thompson wasn't able to remain healthy in his time with the Giants.
