EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Tom Coughlin doesnt have many options at halfback for the winless New York Giants. The choice now is rookie Michael Cox, and thats it. Veteran Brandon Jacobs, who ignited the running game for the first time this season in a 27-21 loss to the Chicago Bears on Thursday night, has a tweaked left hamstring. He did not practice on Monday as the Giants (0-6) started work for next Monday nights game against the Minnesota Vikings. Jacobs insists he will play. Cox said he is ready. David Wilson and DaRel Scott are major question marks. Wilson, the No. 1 back to start the season, was in California on Monday having a troublesome neck injury examined. Scott has a bad hamstring injury and appears to be out for Minnesota. Things were so bad before last week that backup linebacker Allen Bradford ran a few plays as a halfback with the scout team. Coughlin joked Monday when asked if he was concerned about his halfback situation. "What do you mean?" he said. "We had one. Were all set." Besides Cox, Coughlin also has fullback John Conner in the backfield. Sitting in front of his locker, Jacobs smiled when asked about his hamstring, which was hurt on a night he carried 22 times for 106 yards. It was the first individual 100-yard rushing effort by a Giant this season, and Jacobs first 100-yard game since 2010. It came on a night New York ran for a season-high 123 yards. "Im not missing any game," Jacobs said. "Straight up, thats all there is in a nutshell. I am not counting on being down." Jacobs said the trainers advised him not to practice Monday and he has been told his injury is day to day. The 31-year-old Jacobs surprised a lot of people with his performance. He ran hard. He had great second effort. He also showed he could get into the end zone, twice carrying Bears defenders to pay dirt. "Its not about proving to everybody," said Jacobs, who barely played after signing with San Francisco as a free agent last season. "I dont care to prove to anybody. All I need to do is show the guys in this locker room and the coaching staff what I have to do." On the other hand, Cox has to prove himself. The seventh-round draft pick is still trying to learn the offence. "Hes young," Coughlin said. "Its sophisticated and complex the things that are thrown at him, particularly in the protection area, so youve got to be careful." The bottom line is the Giants dont want Eli Manning getting hurt because Cox missed a blocking assignment. "I feel like Im ready to go, but obviously Im just working on everything, pass protection, just watching more film and the whole offence, everything," Cox said. Centre Jim Cordle said the offensive line got a chance to work with Cox on Monday. Cordle said the 24-year-old who has yet to carry the ball in the regular season is a fast, physical back. "He is talented, but I am sure Brandon will play," Cordle said. "You saw how much he loves playing and how much he wants to be here. If those are the two guys, well go with them." Scott also injured his hamstring against the Bears. He had a hard time walking up steps after watching practice Monday. The biggest concern is Wilson, the Giants first-round draft pick last year. He hurt his neck getting tackled against Philadelphia on Oct. 6. He briefly lost feeling but walked off the field. There is some concern he has had a narrowing of his spinal column, and that was being looked at in California. Wilson was optimistic about his condition on Friday. Coughlin said Wilson overcame a similar injury in college. The Giants were not certain whether they would have an update on Wilsons injury on Monday. The halfback situation should improve after the eighth game, when halfback Andre Brown is eligible to come off injured reserve. He broke his left leg for the second time in less than a year in the preseason finale against New England. Nike Air Max 90 Goedkoop .m.

Nike Air Max Thea Zwart .com) - Alejandro Canizares shot 6- under-par 66 on Thursday and grabbed a one-stroke lead after the opening round of the DP World Tour Championship, Dubai.(SportsNetwork.com) - The Winnipeg Jets hope a trip to the desert can help them get back on track, as they open a three-game trek with Thursdays clash against the Arizona Coyotes. The Jets gained only two of a possible eight points on a recent four-game homestand. Winnipeg went 1-3-0 on the stay at MTS Centre and lost Mondays finale against San Jose in heartbreaking fashion. Winnipeg tied the Sharks at 2-2 with Jay Harrisons power-play goal early in the third period and appeared headed for at least a point until Marc-Edouard Vlasic shocked the hosts by scoring with just 4.5 seconds to play in regulation. With the contests seconds away from heading to overtime, San Jose center Joe Pavelski won a faceoff in the Winnipeg zone. Logan Couture dug out the loose puck and passed it over to the left circle where Vlasic wristed it high for the winner. Andrew Ladd also scored for the Jets, while Michael Hutchinson allowed three goals on 37 shots in the loss. Its going to sting tonight, but we dont have time to sit here and sulk, said Ladd. Well chalk it up to a learning experience and make sure it doesnt happen again. The Jets hope to put the tough loss behind them tonight by continuing their recent dominance of the Coyotes, who have lost five straight in this series since a home win on Oct. 15, 2011. Winnipeg, which is 13 points ahead of Arizona for the final wild card spot in the West, has won its last two tilts in Glendale. The clubs met once earlier this season when Winnipeg recorded a 6-2 win in the desert behind two-goal performances from Bryan Little and Blake Wheeler. Ondrej Pavelec has been a big part of Winnipegs recent success against the Coyotes, and he owns a 5-1-1 mark with a 1.66 goals againstt average in this series.dddddddddddd Pavelec will get the start tonight. The Jets are expecting to get defenseman Zach Bogosian back on the ice tonight after he missed the last 14 games with a lower-body injury. That should help a decimated Winnipeg blue line that is playing without defensemen Grant Clitsome, Toby Enstrom, Mark Stuart and Jacob Trouba. In addition to being the first tilt of a three-game swing, tonights test also marks the beginning of a road-heavy stretch for the Jets, who will play five of six and seven of their next 10 away from Winnipeg. Thats not necessarily a bad thing for a club which is 11-4-4 on the road this season compared to a 9-9-3 mark at MTS. The Coyotes are hoping to rebound from their second 6-0 loss in a week when they take the ice tonight. Arizona was slammed New Years Eve in Dallas by a 6-0 score before beginning a six-game homestand with Saturdays 6-3 win over Columbus. However, the Coyotes were unable to build off the win over the Blue Jackets and instead fell 6-0 to St. Louis on Tuesday. David Backes had four goals to lead Tuesdays rout, which saw Coyotes goaltender Mike Smith allow all six goals on 39 shots. The shots were 32-14 (at one point). Thats not a goaltender problem; thats a people-in-front-of-them problem, Coyotes coach Dave Tippett said. The loss dropped the Coyotes to 8-9-3 as the host this season. Arizona forward Martin Hanzal is questionable for tonight after missing Tuesdays test with an upper-body injury suffered Saturday against Columbus. Smith could get the start in net again tonight for Arizona. He is 7-7-1 with a 2.71 GAA in his career against Winnipeg, while Devan Dubnyk is 0-7-0 lifetime with a 4.72 GAA in this matchup. cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys cheap jerseys cheap nfl jerseys cheap jerseys ' ' ' |
