Giants backfield takes a beating... according to these reports brought to you by "the Gridiron Newsstand":

"Eli Manning has separated shoulder, expected to miss playing time (http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d80239d6c&template=with-video&confirm=true)"

"Giants RB Jacobs out 3-5 weeks with sprained MCL (http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d80237899&template=without-video&confirm=true)"

RB Ward looks to be a great get!!! [smiley=yes.gif]

The status of many key [smiley=key.gif] Giants' offensive players is in "question" this week... according to "The REAL Feed":

Giants' Jacobs, Ward, Burress questionable (http://www.sportsnetwork.com/default.asp?c=sportsnetwork&page=/nfl/news/ABN4104942.htm)
The Sports Network: NFL (28.09.2007 19:25)

Is that the end of Ward's "run", especially with Jacobs apparently on the mends???

Jacobs is ready,... BUT so is Ward... From "The REAL Feed":

Giants' Jacobs OK to play, but is he a backup now? (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3048164&campaign=rss&source=NFLHeadlines)
ESPN: NFL (03.10.2007 19:16)
A little less than a month after spraining his right knee in the season opener, Brandon Jacobs is ready to return to his job as the New York Giants' starting halfback.

What do YOU, my fellow Gridironers, think is going to happen here??? [smiley=thinking.gif]

My guess would be RBBC with Jacobs at goal-line RB and most of the work, unless we see another injury. Teams will start to figure out how to defend Ward anyway. Either way, the schedule isn't bad for them for awhile.
