Giants cornerback Janoris Jenkins left Sunday’s game with a back injury. The good news is that his back, as in his spine, is fine. The possible bad news is that he could have an injury to an internal organ.

Per a source with knowledge of the situation, Jenkins is undergoing a battery of tests aimed at ruling out internal organ damage. The current hope is that all tests will be negative (which would be positive), and that Jenkins will be available for the team’s next game.

Jenkins took a knee to the back in the first half of the win over the Lions. He did not return.

The Giants have a quick turnaround; the face the Eagles on Thursday night in Philadelphia.
