Giants Waive DB Jacob Thieneman From IR

The New York Giants officially waived DB Jacob Thieneman from injured reserve on Thursday. 

Thieneman, 23, wound up going undrafted out of Purdue back in April. He later agreed to a three-year, $1.755 million contract with the Giants.

New York waived Thieneman with an injury designation a few weeks later and he reverted to their injured reserve list after clearing waivers.

During his college career at Purdue, Thieneman recorded 161 tackles, seven sacks, three interceptions, a fumble recovery and eight pass defenses over the course of 28 games.
