EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- New York Giants running back Rashad Jennings returned to practice this week and is expecting to play in the regular-season finale against the Eagles this Sunday. Rookie linebacker Devon Kennard, who has a toe injury, is less certain.
Kennard had a plastic walking boot on his left foot and did not practice Wednesday. He said he injured his left big toe early in Sunday's game, kept playing on it, was sore after the game and was very sore Monday morning. He believes he can get ready in time for Sunday's game, but until he gets on the practice field he can't be sure.
Jennings was listed as a limited participant in practice but said he's playing Sunday. Also limited in practice were running back Andre Williams (shoulder), linebacker Jameel McClain (knee) and linebacker Paul Hazel (hamstring).
Due to Jennings' injuries, Williams has taken over the team rushing yardage lead, 678 to 606. Jennings said he's happy about that and wants Williams to be a better player than he is. But he smiled and declined comment when asked if he hoped to pass him.
