Jalen Mayfield: Let go with injury settlement

Mayfield (ankle) was let go from the Giants' injured reserve after reaching an injury settlement Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Mayfield was waived with an injury designation and subsequently reverted to IR on Wednesday due to an ankle injury he sustained in the Giants' preseason finale against the Jets on Saturday. The 2021 third-round pick will now be able to sign with a team once he's fully healthy. Mayfield started in 16 games in his rookie season with the Falcons, but he appeared in just three contests in 2023 with the Giants.
