News & Info/Headlines
Going up against the Redskins tonight, look for Manning to potentially throw a few more balls down the field, especially given the season-ending Achilles injury suffered by cornerback DeAngelo Hall.
Last week, Victor Cruz showed strong signs of returning to his explosive self when he hauled in a 61-yard touchdown reception.
Cruz has often given the Redskins fits.
Tight end Larry Donnell, who leads the Giants with 18 catches, could also be a problem since inside linebacker Perry Riley and safety Brandon Meriweather have struggled in coverage.
Worth noting, Washington limited Rashad Jennings to 45 yards on 14 carries when he was with Oakland in 2013, but he added eight catches for 71 yards. But it's not the best matchup available.
The Redskins rank third against the run after throttling Eagles star running back LeSean McCoy last week. Jennings is the NFC's second-leading rusher with 286 yards and has eight catches for 95 yards
In case you missed it, the Giants' injury news contains no surprises.
Wide receiver Odell Beckham remains sidelined by one of the most persistent hamstring injuries in the league. Linebacker Jon Beason (foot) is doubtful.
