East Rutherford, NJ (SportsNetwork.com) – New York Giants running back Brandon Jacobs is expected to miss a third straight game due to persistent injuries to his hamstring and knee.<\/p>\n
The Giants have listed Jacobs, who rushed for 106 yards and two touchdowns at Chicago in Week 6 prior to being sidelined, as doubtful for Sunday’s matchup against the Oakland Raiders.<\/p>\n
New York will likely use a combination of Peyton Hillis and Andre Brown, who was activated from the short-term injured reserve list Thursday. Early-season starter David Wilson (neck) was officially placed on IR Thursday to make room for Brown, now recovered from a fractured fibula sustained during the preseason.<\/p>\n
On the defensive side, cornerback Corey Webster has been ruled out for New York’s post-bye week clash with groin and ankle injuries. The veteran has participated in just four of the Giants’ nine games this season, having previously been sidelined with a hip flexor strain.<\/p>\n
Defensive tackle Shaun Rogers (knee), moved to IR along with Wilson on Thursday, has been declared out as well.<\/p>\n
Wide receiver Victor Cruz is probable to face the Raiders after missing some practice time this week with a stiff neck. Cornerback Terrell Thomas (knee) and tight end Adrien Robinson (foot) are also expected to play.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
