In light of additional documents made public Wednesday that showed kicker Josh Brown admitted to abusing his then-wife, the Giants announced Thursday he will not travel with the team to London for Sunday's matchup with the Rams.
Giants co-owner John Mara told reporters he spoke with Brown "several times" Thursday. While no determination on Brown's future with the team has been made, Mara did admit the commissioner's exempt list is possible.
"I think he's attempted to be honest with us," Mara said. "I'm certainly disturbed by what I've read. He's admitted he's abused his wife in the past."

The documents released by the Kings County (Wash.) Sheriff's office included emailed letters, personal journal entries and counseling exercises.
"My ability to connect emotionally to other people was zero. My empathy levels were zero. Because I never handled these underlying issues I became an abuser and hurt [my wife] physically, emotionally and verbally," he wrote in a journal. "I viewed myself as God basically and she was my slave."
The NFL released a statement Thursday regarding Brown and the latest information regarding his domestic assault case.
"NFL investigators made repeated attempts — both orally and in writing — to obtain any and all evidence and relevant information in this case from the King County Sheriff's Office. Each of those requests was denied and the Sheriff's Office declined to provide any of the requested information, which ultimately limited our ability to fully investigate this matter. We concluded our own investigation, more than a year after the initial incident, based on the facts and evidence available to us at the time and after making exhaustive attempts to obtain information in a timely fashion. It is unfortunate that we did not have the benefit or knowledge of these materials at the time.
"In light of the release of these documents yesterday, we will thoroughly review the additional information and determine next steps in the context of the NFL Personal Conduct Policy. We will not be making any comments on potential discipline until that time."

The NFL's statement did not address the allegation from Brown's ex-wife in which she claimed NFL security had to put her in another hotel for the 2016 Pro Bowl and did not tell the Giants kicker where she was.
She also alleged that one night he got drunk and pounded on her door so loudly that NFL security and hotel security were called and had to escort Josh away. She also alleged that the NFL eventually put her and her kids up in a different hotel "where Josh would not know where they were," the police report said.
The Giants said they plan to review the newly disclosed information and to revisit this issue following their trip to London, adding they do not condone or excuse any form of domestic violence.
Randy Bullock, who filled in for Brown while he was suspended in Week 1, is Brown's likely replacement in London.
