EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J., Jan. 7 (UPI) -- New York running back Brandon Jacobs, who has been nursing a knee injury, says he'll be "ready to go" for the Giants' playoff game Sunday against Philadelphia.

Jacobs missed two of the last three games with a knee injury but practiced with the team Wednesday.

"I'm ready to go, I feel real good about our situation and where we are right now," he said. "I just can't wait for the game to get here."

Jacobs ran 1,089 yards this season, averaging 5 yards per carry.

"I've been playing since Week 3 with the same (injury)" Jacobs said. "I've been performing at a very high level. I don't think it's going to bother me on Sunday or any other time period through this run."

The Giants, defending Super Bowl champions, will be at home for their NFC divisional playoff battle against the Eagles.
