TMZ Sports reports that a dead body was found at the New Jersey home of Giants CB Janoris Jenkins on Tuesday and the matter is being investigated by the Major Crimes Unit.

According to TMZ, Jenkins was out of the state when the body was discovered early Tuesday morning. Sources have told TMZ, however, that Jenkins is aware of the situation

The body was reportedly found in the basement by a worker at the house, but it has yet to be identified.

The Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office tells TMZ Sports the dead body is a man, but he’s not the owner of the house.

“The investigation is ongoing, and additional information will be provided when it is available and appropriate for release,” police said in a statement.

Dianna Russini confirms the news and adds that Jenkins isn’t in the state of New Jersey and has been in Florida since camp broke.

According to Russini, Jenkins had family staying at that home and he had plans to return to New Jersey on Tuesday to deal with the situation. However, it’s possible he could remain in Florida.

Russini adds that last night in New Jersey, a man claiming to be Jenkins’ brother was on a Jet Blue flight to Fort Lauderdale from Newark to allegedly meet up with Janoris. The man reportedly caused delays because he was too scared to fly, according to witnesses, and he eventually got off the plane.

Jenkins, 29 is a former second-round pick of the Rams back in 2012. He spent four years with the Rams before signing a five-year, $62.5 million contract that included $28.8 million guaranteed with the Giants.

Jenkins stands to make base salaries of $10.9 million and $10.15 million over the next two years of the agreement.

In 2017, Jenkins appeared in nine games and recorded 31 tackles, three interceptions with two of them being returned for touchdowns, a forced fumble and nine pass defenses.
