Giants' Rashad Jennings: Limited Thursday

Jennings (thumb) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Ralph Vacchiano of SNY reports.

Analysis:

Jennings was a limited practice participant before he was ruled inactive for Week 3's game against the Redskins, so Thursday's activity doesn't exactly shed light on his availability for the Giants' upcoming Monday night showdown at Minnesota. In fact, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com has heard rumblings that Jennings will miss a second outing in a row due to his left thumb injury. Whether or not Jennings does so may come down to a game-time decision, but Shane Vereen's (triceps) placement on IR this week places Orleans Darkwa in the spotlight out of the backfield.
