Updating a previous report, New York Giants RB Rashad Jennings (thumb) said Sunday, Sept. 25, that he understood head coach Ben McAdoo’s decision to keep him out. He said his thumb feels better and he is hopeful of returning in Week 4.

Footballguys View: Shane Vereen and Orleans Darkwa split the work in the backfield and both scored against Washington this week. Next week brings the stout Vikings defense, so we will probably stay away from the Giants backfield no matter who starts.
