The Facts:
The Giants today officially lost their leading rusher for the remainder of the season when Ward was placed on injured reserve. Ward fractured his left fibula in Sunday’s 21-16 victory in Chicago. He suffered the injury in the fourth quarter of a game in which he rushed for a career-high 154 yards. Ward’s place on the roster was taken by rookie running back Danny Ware, who was signed off the Jets’ practice squad.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Ward leads the Giants with 602 rushing yards, despite missing the four games prior to the contest in Chicago with ankle and groin injuries. That is 479 more yards than Ward had in his first three seasons combined and three more than Brandon Jacobs, who has missed five games this year, including the last two with a hamstring injury. Jacobs is expected to return for Sunday’s game in Philadelphia.
