The New York Giants plan to cut kicker Aldrick Rosas, sources told NFL Network's Mike Garafolo and Ian Rapoport.

Rosas was arrested in June after allegedly fleeing the scene of a car crash in Chico, California.

The 25-year-old was reportedly charged with three misdemeanors: reckless driving on a highway, hit-and-run, and driving with a suspended license.

Rosas confirmed his impending release and thanked the Giants on Instagram:

Rosas spent his first three NFL seasons with the Giants. He made the Pro Bowl in 2018.

Former Jets kicker Chandler Catanzaro will take Rosas' place on the Giants' roster, reports ESPN's Adam Schefter. Catanzaro retired last August but became available to sign with another team when the Jets officially surrendered his rights last week.
