EAST RUTHERFORD -- Giants cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie has been suspended "indefinitely" without pay after a Thursday morning meeting with head coach Ben McAdoo, according to the team.

The announcement comes a day after McAdoo announced the veteran was suspended. Rodgers-Cromartie can be suspended up to four weeks, according to the collective bargaining agreement between the NFL and the players' association.

The Giants will place Rodgers-Cromartie on the reserved/suspended by team list. The team has promoted cornerback Donte Deayon from the practice squad to fill Rodgers-Cromartie's spot on the active roster. The team also signed cornerback Brandon Dixon to the practice squad.

Rodgers-Cromartie reported to the team facility Thursday and was in the locker room, according to a source. He then met with McAdoo. Rodgers-Cromartie will be lose $410,588 in salary each week he is suspended.

McAdoo announced Rodgers-Cromartie was suspended after he left the facility on Wednesday before practice.

"DRC came in yesterday. We had a conversation that was personal upstairs and he came in today," McAdoo said. "Decided to leave. We will suspend him. ... We had a conversation yesterday. He came into the building this morning. Decided to leave and we will put him on suspension."

Rodgers-Cromartie said he left the facility because was upset after learning Tuesday he would be inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Rodgers-Cromartie was facing discipline for leaving the bench in the second half of last Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Chargers and, according to Rodgers-Cromartie's comments to an ESPN reporter, for arguing with McAdoo on the sideline.

ESPN reported the Giants plan to welcome Rodgers-Cromartie back "with a clean slate once he has served his punishment," and the suspension could end up being for multiple games.
