I know that Byron will work diligently to get back and rejoin his teammates as soon as possible.'' The Jags, who host the New York Giants on Monday night, said Leftwich's status will be updated following surgery. He was ruled out against the Giants. Defensive tackles Marcus Stroud and John Henderson remained questionable on the injury report, but both players missed practice Satur |

He also was downgraded because he played at Division I-AA Hofstra and had a reputation for not working hard enough. ``That's just about where we had him ranked,'' acknowledges New York Giants general manager Ernie Accorsi. ``We liked him there and we talked about him. We just went somewhere else.'' Somewhere else turned out to be Gerrick McPhearson, a cornerback from Maryland who didn't make the team. But don't knock the Giants. Th |

If he played for the New York Giants - if I played for the New York Giants - and had these numbers, there would be no question. I think it's horrible we don't have more in there.'' Denver isn't alone, of course. Some teams have no players who played a majority of their careers for th |

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -New York Giants halfback Brandon Jacobs is unhappy with the NFL and plans to let the league know.
