If anyone sees Rodney Hampton or Joe Morris hanging around today, it might be worth telling them to swing by tonight’s Giants game.

They might get asked to suit up.

According to Mike Garafolo of FOX Sports, Giants running back Brandon Jacobs isn’t expected to play tonight against the Vikings.

Jacobs was listed on the injury report as questionable with a hamstring problem, but it appears to be leaning more toward the wrong side of the 50-50 hyphen.

He had 106 yards in his last appearance, and the Giants could certainly use all the hellp they can get.

If he can’t play, the Giants will be down to rookie Michael Cox, and their latest in-season addition, Peyton Hillis. With problems like that, you’d think the Giants would be 0-6 or something.
