New York Giants running back Rashad Jennings is not practicing with the team on Monday, according to Jordan Raanan of NJ.com. Jennings is dealing with a knee injury and has missed the team's last two games. Fortunately, the Giants had a bye week in Week 8, so Jennings didn't miss a third game, though his status for the next one should be in doubt.

That said, Jennings missing practice on Monday isn't a huge deal. It's a light practice following a bye week and the Giants get nothing out of having him out there for this one. It will be more telling when Thursday and Friday practice sessions roll around. If Jennings can't practice those days, his status for the game against the Indianapolis Colts would definitely be in doubt.
Fantasy Impact: The Giants have struggled to run the ball without Jennings, who has been solid this season. Jennings isn’t a must-start by any means, but he had 91 carries for 396 yards and two touchdowns before going down with the injury. Jennings would be facing a tough matchup against the Colts if he played in Week 9, but he’d still be a solid fantasy option if healthy.
