Giants lose safety Bennett Jackson for season with torn ACL

No position on the Giants has been decimated more than safety. And now that spot has taken more huge hits.

Bennett Jackson, a second-year pro who was playing mostly with the first team this summer, suffered a torn right ACL in the Giants' preseason game Saturday night and is out for the season. And rookie Justin Currie suffered a fractured ankle and fibula and is out for the season, too. They are the second and third Giants safeties to suffer season-ending injuries this summer, joining rookie Mykkele Thompson, who tore his Achilles in the preseason opener.

Jackson, a sixth-round pick out of Notre Dame in 2014, missed all of last season too after needing microfracture surgery on his left knee.
