1. Two Jacobs Leave with injuries
Undrafted rookie Jacob Thomas had really been making the most of his opportunities and started on Friday along with third-round pick Jakobe Thomas, who made his pro debut after missing Minnesota’s first two preseason contests because of back tightness.
Jacob Thomas unfortunately suffered an injury while defending a pass on the seventh play of the game. He was slow to get up after landing out of bounds.
It was a tough end to a preseason that had started with such promise for Thomas, who recorded an interception at New York in his NFL debut.
Jacob Thomas was replaced by Kahlef Hailassie, who recorded an interception in the second quarter to set up Minnesota’s first score.
Linebacker Jacob Roberts, who had recorded Minnesota’s other interception against the Giants, also left the game with an injury.
