The New York Giants have ruled out halfback Brandon Jacobs for Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys.
Jacobs has not practiced all week because of his knee injury, which has been bothering him for about a month.
"We just don't think he will be ready," coach Tom Coughlin said after practice on Friday.
Wide receiver Domenik Hixon, the starting replacement for Plaxico Burress, is questionable, and the Giants won't know until game time whether he will be able to play.
Jacobs leads the Giants with 1,002 yards rushing and 12 touchdowns. He will be replaced in the starting lineup by Derrick Ward.
Ahmad Bradshaw and second-year pro Danny Ware, who has never carried the ball in an NFL game, will back him up.
