Giants running back Rashad Jennings had his left thumb in a cast this week, but he was a participant in practice every day and the signs coming from the team were that he’d be in the lineup this Sunday despite being listed as questionable.
It appears things are going the other way for Jennings, however. Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that Jennings will be inactive as the Giants try to go to 3-0 against the Redskins on Sunday afternoon.
Jennings has run 31 times for 102 yards through the first two weeks of the season. Shane Vereen, with 20 carries and six receptions in two weeks, would seem to be in line for a bigger workload. The Giants can also look to Orleans Darkwa, Bobby Rainey and rookie Paul Perkins.
The Giants will also be without right tackle Marshall Newhouse and safety Darian Thompson at home on Sunday.
