A MRI taken on Rashad Jennings' left knee on Monday revealed a sprained MCL. Jennings will not need surgery and the knee should heal on its own, but these injuries typically take 3-4 weeks to fully heal. (Ralph Vacchiano on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
It is likely Jennings will be out through the Giants' Week 8 bye, returning in Week 9 on November 3rd. Andre Williams will likely be called upon to take lead back duties and should be picked up in all leagues as a potential high end RB2 play over the next two weeks, if not more (depending upon how quickly Jennings takes to recover).
