"There is a little swelling, he is walking really well," Tom Coughlin said of Jacobs yesterday. "They are going to do all of the tests."

He called the MRI "pretty standard."

After the game, Jacobs said he could have returned had he been needed. Coughlin confirmed that yesterday. "He came out and was ready to go," Coughlin said. "But we wanted to make sure exactly what this is and so we were cautious."

Back to the scene

Some Giants have admitted that it will be strange to travel and play in Glendale, Ariz., this weekend, the site of their Super Bowl XLII victory. "I think the last memory there was a good one," Chris Snee said. "It will be [weird]. Different circumstances, but it was a good experience last time."

Even Coughlin admitted some nostalgia might creep in. "I'm sure there will be a quick 'we've been here before' kind of thing and it was nice, it was a wonderful trip," he said. "I'm sure that will flash through our minds. But it will quickly go right to the Arizona Cardinals , who have a good team."

Giant steps

CB Aaron Ross, who had his first two interceptions of the season Sunday, left the game late with a leg injury (despite early reports, yesterday it was clarified as a hamstring). He had an MRI to assess the severity ... Coughlin said he'll go week-to-week in determining whether John Carney, Lawrence Tynes or a combination of the two handle the kicking duties ... S James Butler (knee) and CB Corey Webster (groin) played after missing practices during the week.
