EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The season isn’t turning out the way New York Giants running back Brandon Jacobs planned.

This was supposed to be his bounceback year. The season the 29-year-old split carries with good buddy Ahmad Bradshaw and he returned to being a 1,000-yard rusher.

Heading into the bye week, Jacobs has gained 116 yards on a paltry 38 carries. He has played in only four of the Giants’ six games, missing the last two with a swollen knee. There is no guarantee that will be ready to go when the team returns on Oct. 30 against the now winless Miami Dolphins.
