The Star Ledger reports Brandon Jacobs is likely out for Week 13 against the Chicago Bears. He hasn't practiced yet this week and it's likely he won't (or if he does late in the week, he'll be very limited).

Meanwhile, Derrick Ward is expected to be alright and start Sunday.

Well Reuben Droughns showed that he's not an every down back so Ward is a welcome return.
