Jenkins (back) is active for Sunday's game in Washington.

EDGE Analysis

After practicing in a limited capacity all week, Jenkins should handle his normal duties as the Giants' No. 1 cornerback. On the other side of the coin, the team is locked into the fifth seed on the NFC side of the playoff bracket, meaning Jenkins could be pulled early if the Redskins jump out to an early lead. If the preceding comes to pass, rookie Eli Apple could receive a decent amount of run in the secondary for the second week in a row.

Jenkins took a blow to the back on Sunday and was forced to leave the game. Tests showed he didn't suffer any severe damage and his limited participation on Tuesday indicates he may be able to return as soon as Thursday's matchup with the Eagles.

EDGE Analysis

Jenkins was forced into an early exit from Sunday's win over the Lions after crashing down on his back. Fortunately, tests since then have ruled out injuries to Jenkins' internal organs, and he's expected to be alright going forward. Whether that means Jenkins will be able to immediately return to his top cornerback position Thursday against the Eagles remains to be seen, so his status will need further monitoring, but it wouldn't be surprising if the Giants continued to play it safe with Jenkins and afford him an extended layoff prior to Week 17.

Jenkins (back) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Lions.
