McKenzie out, Jacobs back in for Giants

Giants starting RT Kareem McKenzie has yet to return to Sunday’s game against the Saints after he was carted off the field late during the second quarter with an injury. The FOX game broadcast reports McKenzie sustained a groin injury, although there has been no official word from the Giants.
McKenzie was injured on a play in which QB Eli Manning was sacked and stripped of the ball by Roman Harper. Backup OT William Beatty has replaced McKenzie.
RB Brandon Jacobs also appears to be less than 100 percent for the Giants. Jacobs did open the second half in the lineup after leaving during the second quarter with what was reported as a stinger injury, but was replaced by Ahmad Bradshaw on the next drive. At the very least, it appears the two are rotating series, but we’ll bring you the latest on this injury.
