The New York Giants have placed safety Chad Jones on waivers Monday after failing his physical.

Giants DE Justin Tuck admitted on Thursday that uncertainty created by last year's lockout led to him being less prepared for the 2011 season. He promised that won't happen again.

Chad Jones nearly lost his foot in a car accident just two months after being drafted by the Giants in 2010. Now the safety is ready to take part in his first offseason program with the team.

There are 252 rookies in attendance at the NFL Rookie Symposium, and Commissioner Roger Goodell used Chad Jones' recent accident as an example of how fast each of their lives can change.

With clever wheeling and dealing, the Cowboys landed a terrific draft class, one the team hopes will play a major role in a Super Bowl run in 2010.
