The Giants placed Jernigan (foot) on injured reserve Tuesday, Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News reports. The nature of Jernigan's injury is uncertain, but it seems likely that it occurred in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals. He will not need surgery to repair his "mid-foot sprain," but he is still facing a lengthy recovery timetable, and his season is officially over. Julian Talley was added from the practice squad to take Jernigan's spot on the roster.

Jernigan is being evaluated for a mid-foot sprain, according to ESPN's Dan Graziano. Jernigan, who caught two passes for 15 yards on two targets Sunday against the Cardinals, thus looks iffy, at best, for Week 3's contest against the Texans.

Jernigan caught four passes (on seven targets) for 25 yards in Monday's Week 1 loss to the Lions. Jernigan currently occupies the Giants' No. 3 wideout position, since rookie Odell Beckham (hamstring) remains far behind schedule due to injury. While his final totals from Monday were pretty lackluster, it's worth noting Jernigan's seven targets ranked second on the Giants, even if his average of 6.3 yards per catch is more underwhelming. Nonetheless, the Giants' offense as a whole struggled mightily in their first regular season game under new coordinator Ben McAdoo on Monday, so Jernigan may have more to offer on occasion down the road, until Beckham earns New York's third receiver job.

Whispers about Jernigan possibly being cut seem to have been off base, the Newark Star-Ledger reports. Jernigan started and played most of the first half Friday. He had three receptions (on four targets) for 22 yards. With Odell Beckham still recovering from a hamstring injury, it's likely Jernigan will be the team's No. 3 wideout in Week 1.

Jernigan has been struggling this preseason, the Newark Star-Ledger reports. He was largely an afterthought until two strong games to close the 2013 season, but has not seized the opportunity for a bigger role this year so far in camp.

Jernigan (knee) returned to practice Wednesday, NJ.com reports. Jernigan re-joined the Giants' first-team offense, where he faces fresh competition from rookie Odell Beckham, who has finally eased his way back from a pulled hamstring. While Jernigan has been able to play in both of New York's preseason games thus far, Beckham is still projected for a larger role despite not featuring in game action yet. With that in mind, Jernigan is probably competing more with Mario Manningham (knee) for slotting as the Giants' fourth or fifth option.

Jernigan didn't practice Monday due to a knee concern, NJ.com reports. Jernigan is expected to make a prompt return to drills Tuesday, but the absence marks his second as a result of the injury in less than a week. After coming off the bench and snagging two passes for 13 yards in the Hall of Fame Game, he failed to reel in his sole target as a starter Saturday versus the Steelers. Meanwhile, the Giants' receiving corps is pretty banged up at the moment, meaning Jernigan's ultimate role may not be known until shortly before Week 1.

Jernigan started Saturday's preseason game against the Steelers with the Giants once again opening in a three-wide set, NJ.com's Jordan Raanan reports. With Odell Beckham (hamstring) missing a second straight preseason game, Jernigan's only competition for the starting gig was Marcus Harris. Jernigan will likely be hard pressed to keep his No. 3 spot on the depth chart once Beckham is healthy and up to speed.

Jernigan (knee) returned to practice Thursday. Apparently, the injury was minor. Jernigan is likely to be the team's fourth receiver once rookie Odell Beckham gets healthy.

Jernigan was absent from Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury, Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News reports. Jernigan had been seeing opportunities for extra looks in camp while rookie Odell Beckham is sidelined with a hamstring injury, but now he appears to be taking a day off to nurse an ailment of his own. The 25-year-old is entering his fourth season with the Giants, and was targeted a career-high 44 times in his 2013 campaign. Jernigan started Sunday's Hall of Fame game in a three-wideout set, but is expected to return to a reserve role once Beckham is healthy. Considering his recent opportunities, this is very poor timing to develop a knee issue.
