Actually you could say it was Eli's fault, the announcers speculated that on 3rd and short they were going to run the ball with Jacobs, but Eli saw man to man on Ramses Barden and neglected to tell Jacobs he was changing it up, therfore the miscommunication.

EDIT: beat me to it.

Against NFL Pre Season.

He is lucky something more serious didn't happen.  Yes, a player can go down at any moment, but it would be terrible to lose your franchise QB in a scrimmage.

Drop the pre-season and add 4 more games to the schedule.

As the announcers pointed out, it looked like Manning changed the playcall without telling Jacobs, and on third-and-1 near the goalline I think everyone expected a run.  It was actually a good call by Manning to change the play,  and I can understand why he didn't make a formal audible there (it might tip off the Jets as to the mismatch). Just a random bit of bad luck, but he looks to be okay.

I watched the game, looking for him the entire time and did not notice him. Also as a Jets fan, read a bunch of reports this morning and there was no mention. Really surprising if he didn't get into the game, as our #4 cb (would be 5 if Revis rejoins the team) Drew Coleman was and has been terrible. The safety depth is pretty good, but if we don't get Revis back I hope the Jets give him a look at cb as well.
