Giants release running back Peyton Hillis

The New York Giants released running back Peyton Hillis on Wednesday, the team’s official website reports.

Hillis had his 2014 campaign cut short with a concussion. He rushed for 115 yards on 26 carries in nine games. He has appeared in only 16 games the past two seasons.

A seven-year veteran, Hillis’ contract was worth $945,000 against the cap this season. He joined the Giants in October 2013 after David Wilson suffered a season-ending neck injury.

Hillis’ releaase comes a day after the Giants released veteran defensive lineman Mathias Kiwanuka. The two moves will save the team just under $6 million in salary cap space.
