New York Giants running back Rashad Jennings says he didn't suffer any setbacks against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, according to Jordan Raanan of NJ.com. Jennings had missed a couple of games with a knee injury, but he carried the ball 22 times against the 49ers. There was some worry that he might have suffered a setback, as Andre Williams was carrying the ball late in the game with the Giants running a two-minute offense.

It's possible Jennings was sore or that the Giants had a hard cap on his snaps and wanted to take extra care. Officially, there's been no setback and he should be expected to shoulder a full workload in practice this coming week as New York prepares for an NFC East matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.
Fantasy Impact: Jennings had 22 touches, but he didn’t put up huge numbers against the 49ers on Sunday. He had just 59 rushing yards and 8 yards off of four receptions. That’s not too surprising though, as the 49ers have one of the better defenses in the league, especially when it comes to stopping the run.
