EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J., Sept. 25 (UPI) -- Despite the New York Giants' confidence this week that running back Rashad Jennings could overcome a thumb injury to play, the team elected to bench him Sunday morning.
Jennings, 31, suffered the injury in the Giants' Week 2 win against the New Orleans Saints. He left the game with his left wrist and thumb heavily wrapped. He resumed weekly practice on a limited basis.
