New York Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw suffered a neck injury after a collision in week two against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers that forced him to leave the game, and miss the following match-up against the Panthers. His injury opened the door for Andre Brown who impressed averaging 5.5 yards per carry.
After meeting with team physicians on Monday and having exams done at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, Bradshaw has been cleared to return to practice and will likely play in Sunday nights game against the division rival Philadelphia Eagles. Bradshaw tweeted the good news Monday afternoon…
“Great news! Thanks everyone for ur thoughts and prayers. But u dnt understand, I'm Ready to rock.”
It is unknown what type of role Bradshaw will play in the game or how much of a workload he will resume, especially after Brown's solid play in his absence. Some are speculating he will be worked into the offense slowly as a change of pace back but he will eventually return to being the starter.
The next Giants' practice will be held on Wednesday after a day off. If the coaches feel Bradshaw's neck is healthy enough, he will suit up on Sunday night.

Glad I’m not a Packer fan today. But we got what the entire world of NFL fans wanted: a terrible call that determined a game that was seen on national TV and will be seen by everyone a few times today. Goodell and the owners will not be able to withstand the heat. They have to settle with the zebras now or make it terribly obvious that they are determined to break that union and in the process punch the players in the nose and give them fair warning for the next round of labor talks.
But let’s not forget that a number of those “regulars” are also incompetent idiots, and include a few who have a history of leaning against the Giants.
I don’t think the NFL will or “can” give in.
This fight is about eliminating non-contributory pension plans for the entire league
if they give in to the refs, they fear they will have to give in to the players next go-around
regardless of where you stand on the age-old capital/labor conflict, the Owners have made this a cause celeb
can’t see them backing down regardless of how bad it gets
we still watch; we still pay
we **** about the refs, but only really care if our team loses
are they complaining in Seattle today?
are they giving back the W?
The Owners will not back down
I think Brown has earned a LOT of snaps, but the team definitely needs both he and Bradshaw. It’s impossible for a single back to navigate through a season these days without missing time. What Brown’s emergence does is allow Wilson to develop more slowly. That may be frustrating for Wilson and for us, but let’s see how this all plays out before we start criticizing the coaches for the decisions they make regarding running backs. I’m just happy we have three good running backs. Not many teams do. That could make a HUGE difference as the season wears on and the players bear the wounds of an NFL season.
I just have a feeling that Wilson’s relatively fresh legs could be an important factor late in the 2012 season.
Bradshaw will start; Brown will alternate
the problem with the two back system, at least the way the Giants have generally run it, is Bradshaw gets a drive; Brown gets a drive, etc.
No rhythm
Let’s just hope that Brown continues to avoid the virus that causes spastic dancing, tip-toeing and stutter-stepping which afflicted his predecessors. Bradshaw used to hit the hole quickly which is why many advocated for him to play over Jacobs. However, as the years have gone on I could write a thesis in the amount of time it takes Bradshaw to get to the line.
I’ve been tweeting about the GB-Sea play this morning, and I don’t think it was a terrible call at all. Tate clearly gets his arms around that ball while they’re still in the air. One official ruled it a Green Bay catch, the other a Seattle catch. Ruling it “simultaneous possession” is in no way a bad call there IMO.
Matter of fact, Mike Tirico even called it “simultaneous possession” in real time in the immediate aftermath of the play.
The worse part of this call was the non-call on the obvious pass interference on Tate.
It was a horrendous call. Not even close. Jennings had the ball in his chest
, came down with it, and Tate tried to rip the ball out.
Forget the call on that, it’s more a farce that e refs missed Tate’s push off on shields to allow him to even be in the play. These refs were inconsistent and putrid all night long.it was a sign of all signs.
Jennings made a dodo mistake IMO, he shoulda batted the ball down instead of trying to pick it off.
Yep
Every time I watch the video, I can see Tate getting his hands around the ball while they’re still in the air. Jenning may have had possession first, but I don’t think it’s obvious from the video. In real-time to the naked eye, it’s just not a bad call.
Dunno, looked pretty obvious to me in every which way that it was a clear INT
Funny how the pack was covering up until that play, eh?
As a gambling man, I act my losses. But this is one that the book should have no play on. If only it worked like at.
The push-off was pretty egregious. That having been said, I can’t remember the last time I saw PI called on an end of the game Hail Mary.
never call that penalty in that situation
2002 Giants/Niners anyone?
Didn’t say “never” just that I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen it called. It happens on most jump ball situations IMO, but isn’t typically called.
It will be interesting to see what Mike Pereira has to say about it. Usually he’s “live blogging” via Twitter during MNF but was in a cellular “dead zone” last night in the Sierras.
The more horrendous penalty imo was the phantom PI on shields. Thats was awful. The Packers had already been gifted multiple first downs earlier in the game though, one resulting in a TD so they shouldnt be that upset really….
Oh and did that catch remind anyone of this?
