Janoris Jenkins to have ankle surgery, Giants announce

Number 20 is the 20th.

Janoris Jenkins is scheduled to have surgery on his ankle on Wednesday and has been placed on injured reserve, the Giants announced. He is the 20th player this season to receive that designation for the team. The Pro Bowl cornerback aggravated a nagging ankle injury when he returned an interception for a touchdown in Thursday’s loss to Washington. He returned to the game but allowed the go-ahead touchdown.

Jenkins missed the Sept. 18 game against Detroit with the ankle injury and the Nov. 5 games against the Rams because he was suspended by the team.
