New York Giants running back Rashad Jennings is out of the lineup for a third consecutive game because of a sprained knee.

Jennings went down with a sprained MCL in Week 5 and said he expected to return for Monday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts, but coach Tom Coughlin said Thursday rookie Andre Williams would start for the third consecutive game.

Williams rushed for 59 yards on 17 carries at Philadelphia in Week 6 and then rushed for 51 yards on 18 carries at Dallas the next week.
