Giants" Jacobs Has Knee Surgery Brandon Jacobs finished his season with 58 carries for 238 yards and a team-leading four rushing touchdowns. EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - Brandon Jacobs, who is fourth among the Giants" career rushing leaders with 5,087 yards, faces an uncertain future after undergoing a cartilage graft procedure to address osteoarthritis in his left knee. Jacobs, 31, was placed on injured reserve Tuesday after missing five of the team's last seven games. The surgery was performed Wednesday. He finished with 58 carries for 238 yards and a team-leading four rushing touchdowns after being signed after the season opener. Jacobs displayed the tackle-breaking ability that allowed him to produce consecutive 1,000-yard seasons in 2007 and 2008 when he ran for 106 yards with two scores in a 27-21 loss to the Chicago Bears on Oct. 10. But the condition of his knee worsened after that. Coach Tom Coughlin said he had not discussed the future with Jacobs, who has said he does not wish to extend his career with another team.
