Adoree’ Jackson returned to practice on a limited basis on Wednesday, the first time he has taken the field with his teammates since suffering a sprained knee back on Nov. 20.
Adoree’ Jackson, the top cornerback on a Giants team about to play a win-and-in game on Sunday against the Colts to get into the playoffs for the first time in six years, took a step forward on Wednesday, a turn of events that could be a boon to the Giants’ defense.
Jackson was injured while returning a punt in a 31-18 loss to the Lions at MetLife Stadium. The sprained medial collateral ligament has kept him out of the past five games. The Giants lost three of them, won one of them, and tied another. Jackson’s absence has put a strain on the back end of the defense, leaving Fabian Moreau as the No. 1 cornerback and necessitating having Nick McCloud and Darnay Holmes on the field for extended playing time.
