Jackrabbit was not really missed

Janoris Jenkins, unceremoniously cut by the Giants last week after he defended his use of a word we won’t repeat on social media, was not missed by the Giants’ defense.

Jenkins probably wouldn’t have played this week due to an ankle injury but either way, the Giants got to finally throw their rookie defensive backs out on the field to sink or swim. DeAndre Baker, Corey Ballentine and Julian Love all saw extensive action.

Taking Jenkins spot at right corner was second year player Sam Beal, who played the entire game and led the team with 11 tackles (eight solo) with a tackle for a loss and a pass defensed.
