Giants’ Jacobs Out 3 Weeks; Injury Updates

Giants running back Brandon Jacobs, who injured his knee last night against the Cowboys, will miss at least three weeks and possibly more. He’ll have an MRI today to determine the extent of what appears to be an MCL injury — an injury that could end his season if a tear is revealed.

As for Jacobs, preliminary indications are he suffered a minor medial collateral ligament sprain that will keep him out for about three weeks, provided today’s MRI reveals no tears to the MCL or any other ligaments, according to a person familiar with the preliminary tests. The person requested anonymity because injury information is supposed to be released by the team.

The news isn’t much better for defensive tackle Osi Umenyiora, who left in the first quarter with a knee injury of his own. Although he left under his own power, his injury appears to be more serious than Jacobs. And while no one is saying it yet, it could be a season-ender. He will also have an MRI today.

As if two MRI’s weren’t enough, quarterback Eli Manning will have one of his own. Late in the fourth quarter, Manning appeared to injure his right (throwing) shoulder and was promptly removed from the game.

“It feels just a little tight, a little sore,” Manning said after the game. “I’m going to get an MRI (today), but I could still throw on it. I threw the touchdown to Plaxico (Burress). I could still make all the throws. It’s just a little tight right now, a little sore.

“I don’t anticipate missing any time, but we’ll see how it feels (today) and we’ll see what the MRI and the X-rays say and go from there.”

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to 2007 New York Giants football.

Notes:

There has been no additional word on Kevin Dockery (ankle), William Joseph (back), Jeremy Shockey (unknown - minor) and Barry Cofield (unknown), who all suffered injuries of their own last night.

[FavreCo]

The problem with jacobs is he is too big to be a fulltime longterm starting RB and we see why. A smaller compact RB would not have been injured on that play.

 

[prymetyme25]

After seeing that play in slow-mo I think the Giants got off easy here. Looked worse than it actually was i guess.

 

[delusional]

So Droughns will be the hot pick up this week i guess?

Ward.

Let's assume for a second that Jacobs is done for the year.

How does Ward fall in line with regards to expected production for the remaining games? He looked to run strong when he got the ball yesterday. Does he project out to be a Solid RB2? Low grade RB1? Not even that? If yesterday is any indication he could well be a 1000 yard rusher IMHO but wanting more feedback.

I'll 2nd that request. I would imagine that Ward is going to be the hot waiver wire pickup this week. I'm trying to determine how much $$ to spend on him in blind bidding. I'm sure that he's going to go high and I would like nothing more than to push the price up ini the event that I don't land him.He showed lst night that he's capable of making some plays and could be a RB2 in the fantasy world. I'm curious to know if he can sustain that.

I'm also a Jacobs owner. Looking at my other RB's, I'm OK if Jacobs doesn't come back for a few weeks. But week 6 I have Gore and Addai on byes. That would leave me with Edge for week 6 and no other RB's. I would really need Jacobs that week. Depending on how long he's out will decide how much I bid on Ward. So, Jacobs owners, look at the bye weeks of your other RB's and see how much an impact this is....

Since you brought up your league and roster, I'll ask - how do you have Gore, Addai, Edge and Jacobs on your squad? Just curious (not doubting you). Keeper or dynasty league? That being said, I am a Jacobs owner and will be riding out the storm hoping with my other options.

Actually, it is a 24 team Dynasty League composed of two independent 12 team conferences. Last year was the first year for the league. It is comprised of mainly people from this board including some staff. Some of the owners include, JAA, JohnnyU, Ministry of Pain, Fighting Couch Potatoes, EBF, Jeff Pasquino, Peens, etc. Last year I drafted 9th and took Edge first. Drafted Addai in the 4th, Gore in the 6th and Jacobs in the 18th. I also have TO, Colston and Romo. I tied for first place out of all 24 last year. But JohnnyU won it all behind LT. So, mock all you want, but everyone was bustin my chops for taking Addai and Gore where I did....

i can get by playing gore, benson, j jones. bye weeks, i'd need to use leon washington, who i drafted more as a flier..though he still scored 1 more ff point than benson yesterday. i don't know that i'd want to drop him for ward..and our benches are short.

I'm debating this exact issue myself. My league has very tight roster limits and in order to get Ward I'd have to drop Washington. I'm huge on Washington but Ward is the apparent starter. I'll be going back and forth on this one for the next couple of days. Adding more to the discussion is next up for the Giants are the Packers and at the risk of sounding like a homer I'm not sure Ward will get much against them. Green Bay did a very nice job on Westbrook yesterday and its defense is clearly the strength of the team and a good unit overall.

Actually, the team I played from the other conference in the SB also had LT2, so they cancelled each other out. My squad was stronger elsewhere, that's why I won.

This was before last year's games were played. Gore hadn't done what he did, and Addai was a rookie with zero carries. What's hard for you guys to understand about dynasty leagues anyway? A guy can build a dynasty over years, then some of you guys ask, "what do you play in, a 2 team league"? I'm sure the main reason for these types of responses are coming from those that have no concept of dynasty leagues.

it depends on how firm the three weeks is. washington will have some role all season. the question is how involved is ward with jacobs back. maybe it ends up being a wash, but there is at least more of a track record with leon. i actually have the option of using a wr instead but, w/o ppr, rb is usually better play.

Easy killer. What he has is not the product of playing in a dynasty league and building over time. He is only in year two of the dynasty league. He just had a ridiculously absurd good draft last season.

BTW, I'm in another Dynasty League and have LT, Rudi, MJD, PManning, Javon Walker and Kellen Winslow. My 2nd WR blows, but he my squad is pretty strong. That league has a $32 million cap. 1, 2, and or 3 year contracts. Signing bonuses. Performance clauses. No trade clauses. Restricted Free Agents. Draft pick compensation for signing restricted free agents. Money can be moved back at rate of 25% on the dollar off next year's cap for any money moved forward. You think that's a Fisher Price League too? Call me when you can hang in this league and I'll be happy to take your money....

I'll 2nd that request. I would imagine that Ward is going to be the hot waiver wire pickup this week. I'm trying to determine how much $$ to spend on him in blind bidding. I'm sure that he's going to go high and I would like nothing more than to push the price up ini the event that I don't land him.He showed lst night that he's capable of making some plays and could be a RB2 in the fantasy world. I'm curious to know if he can sustain that.

I'm also a Jacobs owner. Looking at my other RB's, I'm OK if Jacobs doesn't come back for a few weeks. But week 6 I have Gore and Addai on byes. That would leave me with Edge for week 6 and no other RB's. I would really need Jacobs that week. Depending on how long he's out will decide how much I bid on Ward. So, Jacobs owners, look at the bye weeks of your other RB's and see how much an impact this is....

You have Gore, Addai, Jacobs, and Edge?What is this? Fisher Price My First Fantasy League?

My guess is most of you who make childish comments about other peoples teams don't play in dynasty leagues......grow up!!

Easy killer. What he has is not the product of playing in a dynasty league and building over time. He is only in year two of the dynasty league. He just had a ridiculously absurd good draft last season.

Like I said, before last season was played, Gore was considered an injury risk and hadn't had that great season yet. Addia was a rookie with RBBC with Rhodes, so he didn't have 1st rd value last year either. The draft in question was spring 2006.

i can get by playing gore, benson, j jones. bye weeks, i'd need to use leon washington, who i drafted more as a flier..though he still scored 1 more ff point than benson yesterday. i don't know that i'd want to drop him for ward..and our benches are short.

I'm debating this exact issue myself. My league has very tight roster limits and in order to get Ward I'd have to drop Washington. I'm huge on Washington but Ward is the apparent starter. I'll be going back and forth on this one for the next couple of days. Adding more to the discussion is next up for the Giants are the Packers and at the risk of sounding like a homer I'm not sure Ward will get much against them. Green Bay did a very nice job on Westbrook yesterday and its defense is clearly the strength of the team and a good unit overall.

it depends on how firm the three weeks is. washington will have some role all season. the question is how involved is ward with jacobs back. maybe it ends up being a wash, but there is at least more of a track record with leon. i actually have the option of using a wr instead but, w/o ppr, rb is usually better play.

I agree about Washington. I'm high on him for a reason. Not to turn this into our own little discussion but this is a key issue for those considering Ward in leagues with tight roster limits. If you're in a larger league it's a no brainer to drop a bench guy for him and see how things go. But in leagues that have tighter roster limits the choice may not be as easy. If Jacobs is only out for 3 weeks then you have to consider who the Giants are playing and whether Ward can be a factor. Here's a look at the next 3 weeks:Week 2: vs. Green BayWeek 3: at WashingtonWeek 4: vs. PhiladelphiaThat's two tough matchups (Green Bay and Philly) and maybe a third. Washington did well yesterday but I'm not sold on Ronnie Brown or the Dolphins offense so that's a little tougher. So if you're dropping a player you like for Ward you may not get much from Ward in the short term and then Jacobs comes back and presumably becomes the starter. If Jacobs is out five weeks here are the next two games:Week 5: vs. JetsWeek 6: at AtlantaNothing overly scary about those two matchups so Ward could be productive there. Of course, Ward could go off the way the Titans did yesterday against a Jacksonville run defense that typically is very good. So you could get him and it could pay off. But in leagues with tight roster limits, Ward isn't looking like a slam-dunk pick if you have to drop someone whose upside you value.

Let's assume for a second that Jacobs is done for the year. How does Ward fall in line with regards to expected production for the remaining games? He looked to run strong when he got the ball yesterday. Does he project out to be a Solid RB2? Low grade RB1? Not even that? If yesterday is any indication he could well be a 1000 yard rusher IMHO but wanting more feedback.

How do you push the price up blind bidding?

Spread the word about the price range you are willing to bid on a player.....

Well I did draft Bledsoe as my primary QB, Frye as one of my backups and drafted both Michael Clayton and Joey Galloway. Galloway wasn't bad. I think I started Grossman most of the year until I traded for Romo. Again My RB's worked out well for me but the WR's and QB's I drafted were :X

The draft was EARLY. I think we drafted as soon as the NFL draft was over. No training camps. No mini camps really. The draft was a crap shoot pretty quickly....

Actually never. Maybe if you would let him talk about his own team like a big boy (which he had done previously and has already done since very well) there would be no confusion.

Is that really 3-5 weeks or 5-8 weeks that stretches into 12 weeks? Hmmm....

Everyone can go back to talking about drafts etc. and iFighting.
