The Facts:
Smith, who suffered a partially torn pectoral muscle in practice earlier this month and has missed the past three games, originally hoped to return for next Sunday’s game against the Redskins. But Smith admitted after Sunday’s game he won’t suit up. “Unless a miracle happens,” he said.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Smith said there’s “still some weakness” in parts of the muscle. His new targeted return date is Dec. 12 against the Vikings in Minnesota. ... That means Mario Manningham will continue to play a leading role in the Giants' passing attack.
