Bradshaw is expected to visit the Steelers again in a few weeks to re-assess his progress as he recovers from a foot injury, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

Analysis: The Steelers are still thought to be interested in the free agent running back, but he remains without a contract (presumably due to concerns over his foot injury) after visiting with the team this past week.

Bradshaw (foot) will reportedly undergo a physical with the Steelers on Thursday, NFL.com's Aditi Kinkhabwala reports.

Analysis: The report suggests that if everything checks out, the Steelers will try to sign Bradshaw, who has not been met with great demand in free agency thus far, presumably due to his injury history.

Ahmad Bradshaw: Steelers in Mix

Bradshaw (foot) will visit with the Steelers on Wednesday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

Analysis: The Steelers are known to be looking to upgrade at running back and if Bradshaw is deemed healthy by the team, he could be great scoop at the right price. Given that he's lasted this long in free agency, in large part due to his current/past injury woes, it's plausible that Pittsburgh will be able…read more

Bradshaw (foot) says "there's a chance" he could return to the Giants, Jenny Vrentas of the Star-Ledger reports.

Analysis: Meanwhile, Bradshaw notes that the Steelers, Jets and Packers are interested in his services. That said, Bradshaw is proceeding deliberately in free agency, suggesting that he hopes to hold off on team visits until he is as healthy as possible.

Ahmad Bradshaw: Two Teams Showing Interest

The Packers and Steelers have reportedly expressed interest in Bradshaw (foot), ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

Analysis: Though a signing does not appear to be imminent at this point, either team would be a solid fit for Bradshaw, who can still be a productive back, when healthy.

Bradshaw received a positive report Thursday from Dr. Robert Anderson, who told him his foot should be healed in time for OTAs, the Mike Garafolo of USA Today reports.

Analysis: Bradshaw will need to pass a physical before signing with a new team, so he could remain off the market for a while as he rehabs his knee. He's coming off a season in which he averaged a respectable 4.59 yards per carry, but it's not clear if any team would be willing to commit to him as a…read more

Bradshaw -- who had surgery on his right foot last month -- hopes to be cleared by doctors Wednesday, the New York Post reports.

Analysis: Bradshaw, who was released by the Giants last month, is slated to visit with doctors Wednesday, and if all goes well, he will take a physical and then potentially work out for teams that are interested in his services.

Though Bradshaw (foot) noted after being cut by the Giants on Wednesday that he was "looking towards getting healthy and working with somebody else," he left open the possibility for a return to the team at a lower salary, the Daily News reports. On that front, Bradshaw noted "the door is always open on my side."

Analysis: Though such a scenario can't be ruled out, in reality it looks like the Giants feel comfortable with David Wilson as their top back, so it looks like Bradshaw will be playing elsewhere in 2013, likely in some form of committee situation, given concerns about his injury history.

Ahmad Bradshaw: Released by Giants

The Giants have released Bradshaw (foot), the team's official site reports.

Analysis: Bradshaw's continuing foot issues, coupled with the emergence of 2012 first-rounder David Wilson sealed his fate, but once his health is reestablished, there's no doubt that another team will scoop Bradshaw up. Just shy of 27 years old at present, Bradshaw should have plenty left in the tank, but…read more

Bradshaw has had the screw in his right foot replaced with a larger one and will need approximately 10 weeks to recover, the The Star-Ledger reports.

Analysis: It isn't something that should affect Bradshaw's status for the beginning of the 2013 season, but there's obviously cause for concern given his injury history, and it's especially troubling to see another issue with his foot. Bradshaw's 921 career carries undersell the amount of wear-and-tear his…read more

Bradshaw (knee) finished the season strong with 107 yards and a score on 16 carries and a reception for 41 more yards.

Analysis: But for health problems which cost him two full games and parts of others, Bradshaw had a good season, averaging 4.6 yards per carry, catching 23 passes and performing well in blitz pickup. David Wilson will have a bigger role next year, and Andre Brown should be back in the mix as well, but…read more

Bradshaw (knee/foot) is active for Sunday's game against Philadelphia.

Analysis: Bradshaw, who will continue to tough things out through his aches and pains, will get a crack Sunday against a Philadelphia defense that will be without defensive tackle Fletcher Cox and linebacker Mychal Kendricks.

Bradshaw (knee/foot) is probable for Sunday's game against Philadelphia, New York Daily News writer Ralph Vacchiano reports.

Analysis: Bradshaw is ready to go for Sunday, and he takes on a Philadelphia defense that will be without defensive tackle Fletcher Cox and linebacker Mychal Kendricks (concussions). He's a justifiable RB2 play.

Ahmad Bradshaw: (Knee/Foot) Back In Action

Bradshaw (knee/foot) practiced on a limited basis Thursday, the Giants' official site reports.

Analysis: Bradshaw sat out practice Wednesday, but his return to the field Thursday confirms that he is on track to suit up Sunday against the Eagles, barring any setbacks.

Bradshaw (knee) will not practice Wednesday, the New York Daily News reports.

Analysis: The Giants were in come-from-behind mode quickly in Week 16, which allowed Bradshaw a mere nine carries for 39 yards (versus backup David Wilson's three rushes for 17 yards but the lone touchdown on the ground). Bradshaw himself didn't practice last week until Friday anyway, so we're not too…read more

Bradshaw (knee/foot) had nine carries for 39 rushing yards and one catch on one target for eight receiving yards Sunday against the Ravens.

Analysis: The Ravens dominated the Giants from the first quarter on, which made the running game an afterthought quickly. Bradshaw's nine carries were six more than David Wilson, although the latter managed to average 5.7 YPC on his touches. Bradshaw will get the start again next week against an Eagles'…read more

Bradshaw (knee/foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Analysis: Great news for the 8-6 Giants, who are battling for a playoff spot. We suspect that the Giants will give Bradshaw a chance to lead the way Sunday, as long as his knee holds up, but David Wilson is on hand to spell him when he needs a break or in the event that Bradshaw suffers any in-game setbacks.

Bradshaw (knee/foot) plans to play Sunday against the Ravens, according to ESPN's Rachel Nichols.

Analysis: It's still highly advisable to confirm Bradshaw's status prior to Sunday's 4:25 ET kickoff, but it looks like he'll tough it out Sunday, with rookie David Wilson in line to spell him when he needs a breather or suffers any setbacks, either in warmups or in-game.

Bradshaw (knee/foot) traveled for Sunday's game against Baltimore, New York Daily News writer Ralph Vacchiano reports.

Analysis: As has been the case since Bradshaw practiced Friday, things are trending in the right direction for Sunday. There's some risk involved since the Giants have a late game, of course, but if Bradshaw plays he should be able to reward the owners who take the plunge.

Bradshaw nearing return

New York Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw (knee) returned to practice Friday, but he was limited. He's questionable to face the Baltimore Ravens. FULL INJURY ROUNDUP

Analysis: After posting a monster stat line in Week 14, David Wilson mustered just 6.60 fantasy points last week. Even if Bradshaw is active this week, there could be enough to go around against a Ravens defense allowing an average of 132 yards per game and 14 rushing scores.

Ahmad Bradshaw: (Knee/Foot) Listed As Questionable

Bradshaw (knee/foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against Baltimore, New York Daily News writer Ralph Vacchiano reports.

Analysis: Bradshaw made his way to practice Friday, and such a development would normally be a sufficient cause to expect him to play. Unfortunately, his knee ailment adds a very different and less predictable variable to the equation. Still, the combination of his Friday practice and his past demonstrations…read more

Bradshaw (knee) returned to practice Friday, Jenny Vrentas of the Star-Ledger reports.

Analysis: Better late than never for Bradshaw, who practiced for the first time this week on Friday. Make sure to check to see how he's officially listed on Friday's injury report to get a better gauge on his Week 16 status. He's headed in the right direction to suiting up Sunday against the Ravens.

Coach Tom Coughlin is hopeful that Bradshaw (knee) -- who did not practice again Thursday -- will get some work in on Friday, Jenny Vrentas of The Star-Ledger reports.

Analysis: In other words it's no lock that Bradshaw will practice Friday, but if he does, even in a limited capacity, the Giants should be able to get a better handle on what the running back's chances of suiting up for Sunday's 4:25 ET game against the Ravens might be.

Ahmad Bradshaw: (Knee) Misses Practice Again

Bradshaw (knee) is not practicing Thursday, Jenny Vrentas of The Star-Ledger reports.

Analysis: More on Bradshaw's status Friday, but as we suggested Wednesday, it would not surprise us if his Week 16 availability evolves into a game-time decision for Sunday's 4:25 ET contest against the Ravens. Meanwhile, rookie David Wilson's fantasy viability in that contest continues to ride on Bradshaw's…read more

Bradshaw could return

The sixth-year pro didn't practice Wednesday, but insisted he'd be ready this week. Coach Tom Coughlin likes the enthusiasm, but says it's not up to Bradshaw. "We'd all love to have him play," Coughlin said Wednesday, via the New York Daily News. "But it's going to be a medical decision." FULL REPORT

Analysis: Regardless of Bradshaw's availability, David Wilson figures to see an extended role. A timeshare will eat into both players values, so temper expectations if this is the case. The Ravens are allowing an average of 132 yards rushing per game and 14 touchdowns this season.

Coach Tom Coughlin remains unsure of the Week 16 availability of Bradshaw (knee), who will not practice Wednesday, New York Daily News writer Ralph Vacchiano reports. "Well, we'd all love to have him play, but it's going to be a medical decision," Coughlin noted Wednesday. "It's not going to be mine. Although he wants to play as badly as he can, I think if the doctors feel that he can play without hurting himself, then I think that very well might be the case. If the doctors don't feel that that's possible then they'll make the decision."

Analysis: Not surprisingly, the tough-as-nails Bradshaw believes that he will be able to play, but the call is clearly not in his hands. It wouldn't surprise us if this evolves into a game-time decision, with the Week 16 fantasy viability of rookie David Wilson riding on Bradshaw's Sunday status.

Ahmad Bradshaw: (Knee) Expects To Play This Week

Bradshaw said Monday that he expects to play this coming Sunday against the Ravens, Jenny Vrentas of The Star-Ledger reports. "It's healing a lot quicker than expected," Bradshaw said of his knee sprain. "Like I said, my plan is to be out there Sunday."

Analysis: While Bradshaw's optimism is both expected and encouraging, coach Tom Coughlin's tone is a little more subdued at this point. "You know what, I'm not sure of that yet," Coughlin said when asked if Bradshaw could play Sunday. "Medically I don't have that kind of feedback yet." Next in line for…read more

As expected, Bradshaw (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Analysis: David Wilson, fresh off a breakout game in Week 14, will start for Bradshaw, who was ruled out Friday.

Bradshaw ruled out

New York Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw (knee) is out. That means David Wilson is going to decide a lot of fantasy leagues out of nowhere. FULL INJURY REPORT

Analysis: It looks like David Wilson will carry the load against the Atlanta Falcons, a team which has allowed the fifth-most rushing scores (14) to opposing backs. They are also giving up an average of 127 rushing yards per game. After rumbling for 100 yards and two scores last week, Wilson makes for a good…read more

Ahmad Bradshaw: (Sprained Knee) Ruled Out This Week

Bradshaw (sprained knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Jenny Vrentas of The Star-Ledger reports.

Analysis: As a result, David Wilson -- fresh off a breakout effort in Week 14 -- is in line to handle the bulk of the Giants' rushing duties Sunday, with Kregg Lumpkin and Ryan Torain also in the mix to a lesser degree.

Bradshaw (knee) sat out practice again Friday, the Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Analysis: Bradshaw's left knee appeared to be heavily wrapped Friday, which is one more sign that he is unlikely to play Sunday against the Falcons, but so far he hasn't been ruled out for the game, with his official Week 15 injury designation slated to be posted later Friday.

Bradshaw's (sprained left knee) status for Sunday's game against the Falcons remains uncertain, the Newark Star-Ledger reports. "He's going to tell you he can go anytime," coach Tom Coughlin said Thursday. "It's between the medical people and Ahmad in terms of how he feels."

Analysis: Though we are not ruling Bradshaw out, he's looking pretty iffy for Sunday's game at this point. If he is unavailable, then David Wilson would handle to bulk of the Giants' rushing duties, with Kregg Lumpkin and Ryan Torain also in the mix to a lesser degree. More on Bradshaw's status Friday.

Bradshaw misses practice

Jenny Vrentas of The Star-Ledger reported that running back Ahmad Bradshaw was held out of Thursday's practice with the knee sprain he suffered in a Week 14 win over the New Orleans Saints. FULL REPORT

Analysis: It looks like David Wilson will carry the load against the Atlanta Falcons, a team which has allowed the fifth-most rushing scores (14) to opposing backs. They are also giving up an average of 127 rushing yards per game. After rumbling for 100 yards and two scores last week, Wilson makes for a good…read more

Ahmad Bradshaw: (Foot) Skips Practice Thursday

Bradshaw (sprained knee) did not practice Thursday, Jenny Vrentas of The Star-Ledger reports

Analysis: Bradshaw's status for Sunday's game at Atlanta remains cloudy, but he has a deserved reputation as a tough customer, so the Giants aren't ruling him out at this point. Expect Bradshaw to be listed as no better than questionable come Friday and if he ends up being scratched prior to Sunday's 1:00 ET…read more

Bradshaw has sprained left knee

Coach Tom Coughlin told reporters Wednesday that starter Ahmad Bradshaw has a sprained left knee, per ESPNNewYork.com's Ohm Youngmisuk. Bradshaw was injured in Sunday's 52-27 win over the Saints and Coughlin wouldn't speculate on how much practice time the back would miss. FULL REPORT

Analysis: Wilson racked up 22 points last week in standard leagues and if he's asked to carry the load, that success could continue. The Falcons have allowed the fifth-most rushing touchdowns (14) this season and have allowed the most runs of 40 -plus yards (7).

Though Bradshaw has a sprained left knee, coach Tom Coughlin won't rule out the running back for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Jenny Vrentas of the Newark Star-Ledger reports. "I'm not going to rule him out of anything," Coughlin said Wednesday. "I'm not going to talk about the percentages or anything like that. You could speculate on that, knowing full well what the injury is."

Analysis: We do know that Bradshaw, who has been playing through a bruised bone in his foot, won't practice Wednesday. Given Bradshaw's toughness, it's not surprising the Giants are holding out hope that he'll be able to tough it out this weekend, but it he is forced to sit, rookie David Wilson would have an…read more

Ahmad Bradshaw: (Knee) Sprained Knee

Bradshaw has been diagnosed with a sprained knee, Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News reports. "I'm not going to rule him out of anything," head coach Tom Coughlin said.

Analysis: While he hasn't been ruled out for Sunday's game, his chances of playing are very much up in the air. If he is unable to suit up, David Wilson will be in line to start. Either way, Wilson is shaping up to be a popular waiver-wire addition heading into the fantasy playoffs.

Ahmad Bradshaw: Getting Knee Checked Out Monday

Coach Tom Coughlin said Monday that Bradshaw is having several tests done on his left knee, including an MRI, Jenny Vrentas of the Star-Ledger reports.

Analysis: At this point, Coughlin doesn't want to speculate about Bradshaw's injury or discuss whether or not it could keep the running back out of action at all, but if Bradshaw is forced to miss time, then David Wilson's fantasy value will skyrocket after his electric performance Sunday.

Bradshaw (knee) had 11 carries for 33 yards Sunday against the Saints.

Analysis: Bradshaw left Sunday's game with a knee injury but was able to return. Unfortunately for fantasy owners, backup David Wilson was able to take full advantage of the extra playing time, finishing with 100 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 13 carries. Nevertheless, it seems that Bradshaw will be…read more

Bradshaw (knee) returned to Sunday's game against the Saints.

Analysis: Great news for Bradshaw owners, but his exit from Sunday's game is probably a reminder that his backup Davis Wilson is still worth stashing as insurance.

Ahmad Bradshaw: Knee Issue Being Evaluated

Bradshaw suffered an apparent knee injury Sunday against the Saints.

Analysis: Bradshaw's return to the game is questionable, which leaves David Wilson and Kregg Lumpkin to man the Giants' backfield, given that Ryan Torain is inactive Sunday.

Bradshaw (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Analysis: Bradshaw is once again in line to handle the bulk of the Giants' carries Sunday, with rookie David Wilson on hand to spell him.

Ahmad Bradshaw: (Foot) Probable Against Saints

Bradshaw (foot) is probable for Sunday's game against New Orleans, New York Daily News writer Ralph Vacchiano reports.

Analysis: With David Wilson proving to be a minimal threat to take touches at Bradshaw's expense, Bradshaw is looking like one of the league's stronger fantasy options among running backs in the regular season's final month. He's an advised start in most cases.

Bradshaw (foot) took part in Friday's practice, Jenny Vrentas of the Star-Ledger reports.

Analysis: Bradshaw sat out practice the two days before, but it's a good sign for his Week 14 status that he was able to participate Friday. The Giants will update Bradshaw's Week 14 status when they release their injury report Friday afternoon.

Bradshaw (foot) did not practice Thursday, Jenny Vrentas of the Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Analysis: With no setbacks reported with his foot or any new injuries to note, we'll operate under the assumption that the Giants are simply resting Bradshaw (after he racked up 24 carries Monday against the Redskins) with an eye toward keeping him fresh for Sunday's game against the Saints and their giving…read more

Bradshaw (foot) did not practice Wednesday, the Giants' official site reports.

Analysis: Despite the practice being termed a "jog through," Bradshaw still sat out, as he always does during the week. His upcoming opponent, New Orleans, has allowed the most points to opposing running backs in standard leagues, so he should be primed for another nice performance.

With Andre Brown out, Bradshaw had 24 carries for 103 yards and two catches for 13 yards Monday against Washington.

Analysis: Meanwhile, rookie David Wilson had just four carries for nine yards. It's clear the Giants don't trust Wilson at this point, so Bradshaw should continue to get the bulk of the workload as long as he stays healthy.

Bradshaw (foot) is active for Monday's game at Washington.

Analysis: Once again, Bradshaw did not practice during the week, only to take his place as the Giants' No. 1 back. Since Andre Brown (leg) has been lost for the season, Bradshaw's fantasy potential has increased with no one to poach goal-line looks.

Bradshaw (foot) is probable for Monday's game against Washington, New York Daily News writer Ralph Vacchiano reports.

Analysis: Bradshaw's health isn't really a concern. With Andre Brown (leg) out of the way, in fact, Bradshaw could see his fantasy value rise a fair amount, as rookie David Wilson probably won't steal red-zone touches like Brown did.

Bradshaw (foot) did not practice Friday, Giants.com reports.

Analysis: There's no cause for concern here. The Giants almost always minimize Bradshaw's workload during the week, but he has a long history of playing well once game time arrives.

Coach Tom Coughlin indicated Bradshaw's number of carries may increase a bit again in Andre Brown's absence, the Newark Star-Ledger reports. "Ahmad's got it all. He's had the experience, he's been the pass protector, he's caught the ball out of the backfield, he's running the ball," Coughlin said. "So hopefully we can extend that a little bit further. And yet go ahead and develop and get some snaps out of David [Wilson], and perhaps someone else as well."

Analysis: The Giants will get Wilson involved, but probably not as heavily as Brown was, and there's a good chance Bradshaw sees all of the goal-line work.

Bradshaw (foot) did not practice Thursday, the Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Analysis: Bradshaw was seen doing his typical practice routine this season, riding a stationary bike. His fantasy owners shouldn't be too worried about his availability for Monday night's game at Washington, though, as he normally is quite limited in his practice participation during the week before suiting…read more

Brown placed on IR

The Giants announced Monday that Brown will be placed on injured reserve, designated to return, after he broke his leg during Sunday's win over the Green Bay Packers. He won't be eligible to return to the team until after the NFC Championship. FULL REPORT

Analysis: Ahmad Bradshaw should return to seeing a bulk of the goal line touches after watching Brown vulture scores in five straight games. Rookie David Wilson will serve as the secondary back behind the veteran.

Bradshaw (foot) rushed for 58 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries Sunday against the Packers.

Analysis: He also caught two balls for 61 yards. Bradshaw may be called upon to play a bigger role in the offense as Andre Brown broke his leg against the Packers. He should see more work against the Redskins in Week 13.

Bradshaw (foot) is active for Sunday's game against Green Bay.

Analysis: Bradshaw is back after the Giants' bye week, with his foot hopefully having benefited from the time off, but right now his value is under review due to Andre Brown's continued presence as a TD vulture.

Bradshaw expected to play

New York Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw (foot) will be ready to go against the Green Bay Packers despite barely practicing this week. He's probable. FULL INJURY ROUNDUP

Analysis: Meanwhile, Andre Brown has vultured a score in four straight weeks. Bradshaw hasn't scored more than 5.80 points his last three, so his ceiling could be limited with Brown hanging around.

Ahmad Bradshaw: (Foot) Probable For NYG

Bradshaw (foot) is probable for Sunday's game against Green Bay, ESPN New York's Matt Ehalt reports.

Analysis: Hopefully the probable designation -- an improvement over the questionable tag he typically receives -- indicates an improvement in the condition of Bradshaw's problematic foot. Even if he's nearing full strength, however, Bradshaw's fantasy value is still on shaky ground due to the presence of…read more

Bradshaw (foot) was at practice Friday, the Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Analysis: As Bradshaw continues to deal with his right foot issue, he has been regularly limited at practice of late, with his return to the field Friday no doubt a relief to those concerned that he took Thursday off. While he may be listed as questionable later Friday, it appears as though Bradshaw remains…read more

Ahmad Bradshaw: (Foot) Misses Practice Again Thursday

Bradshaw (foot) did not participate in practice Thursday, the Star-Ledger reports.

Analysis: Bradshaw, who is sitting out for a second consecutive day, typically is restricted in his practice reps, so we're not worried about his lack of participation yet. However, we'll keep an eye on his status as Friday's injury report is released in order to have a better take on his availability Sunday…read more

Bradshaw (foot) did some light work in individual drills Wednesday, the Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Analysis: We'll see what he does later in the week, but Bradshaw's been able to play most of the year with minimal practice, and with the team coming off a bye, we'd be surprised if he doesn't play.

Ahmad Bradshaw: (Foot) Sits Out Wednesday

Bradshaw (foot) did not practice Wednesday, the Giants' official site reports.

Analysis: Bradshaw has not missed a game of late, despite dealing with foot concerns, garnering at least 13 touches in his last seven contests. However, we'll watch his progress as the week rolls along.

Bradshaw (foot) is not expected to practice Wednesday, the Giants' official site reports.

Analysis: Bradshaw continues to deal with foot issues, though he has yet to miss a game as a result of the injury. However, he did not score a touchdown in the three games preceding the team's Week 11 bye, while losing two fumbles during that span, so a more positive note would definitely ease the minds of…read more

Bradshaw, who has been dealing with a foot issue, confirmed that he underwent neck X-rays following the Giants' Week 10 loss to the Bengals, noting that they came up clean, Jenny Vrentas of the Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Analysis: Look for Bradshaw to see his usual mixed bag of practice participation leading up to Sunday's game against the Packers, but it looks like he'll be ready to go this coming weekend, as the Giants return from their bye week.

With Bradshaw (foot/neck) and the Giants on bye this week, the team worked out running backs Joseph Addai, Mewelde Moore, Ryan Torain and Kregg Lumpkin, Aaron Wilson of the Baltimore Sun reports.

Analysis: It's not uncommon for NFL teams to work out players in order to have a book on them in the event that they are needed down the road, so this is not a necessarily an ominous sign regarding the health/status of the banged-up Bradshaw. The Giants haven't added any of the backs they worked out so far,…read more

Bradshaw will undergo a "battery of tests" during the week to make sure he comes through the bye week as healthy as possible, ESPN New York reports.

Analysis: Bradshaw underwent X-rays on his neck Sunday, but he's also dealt with hand and foot injuries throughout the season. Head coach Tom Coughlin said the goal is to get as healthy as possible throughout the bye week as the Giants prepare for the stretch run. We don't expect the tests to reveal…read more

Ahmad Bradshaw: (Undisclosed) X-rays Performed

Bradshaw had X-rays performed following Sunday's loss at Cincinnati, but would not reveal what he injured, the Newark Star-Ledger reports. Bradshaw had 10 carries for 57 yards and three catches for 14 yards, but lost one fumble and nearly lost a second one that was overturned on review.

Analysis: Bradshaw entered the game battling the foot injury that has plagued him the past few weeks, but it is not apparent that he had X-rays in this part of his body. Considering the murky nature of the situation, keep an eye on his status as the week rolls along.

Bradshaw (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Jenny Vrentas of the Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Analysis: Although he was carrying a questionable tag Friday, Bradshaw's status was never in serious doubt. It will be interesting to see, however, if the Giants continue to allow Andre Brown to chip away at his workload, particularly around the goal line.

Bradshaw (foot) will play Sunday against the Bengals, according to CBS's Jason La Canfora.

Analysis: That, of course, assumes no pre-game setbacks. We'll confirm Bradshaw's Week 10 status prior to Sunday's 1:00 ET kickoff, nonetheless.

Bradshaw losing value to Brown

In his Week 10 "Like/Dislike" analysis, fantasy expert Adam Rank notes, "Ahmad Bradshaw's fantasy points have decreased in four consecutive games. He's had fewer than six points in back-to-back games." FULL LIKE/DISLIKE

Analysis: Despite his struggles and questionable status, Bradshaw's prospects look good against the Bengals. Cincinnati is allowing an average of 117 yards rushing and 9 touchdowns. The bigger issue is Andre Brown, who also has flex value given he's vultured a touchdown in three straight games.

Ahmad Bradshaw: (Foot) Questionable For Sunday

Bradshaw (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against Cincinnati, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

Analysis: Bradshaw seems very likely to start Sunday and take up his usual workload. Although his effectiveness might be a bit compromised by the injury, he's still no worse than a flex play in most formats.

Bradshaw (foot) returned to a limited practice Thursday, the Giants' official site reports.

Analysis: We'd expect that the Giants will list Bradshaw as either questionable or probable for Week 10 depending on what he does Friday, but barring any setbacks, the odds favor him continuing to play through his foot issue Sunday against the Bengals.

Coach Tom Coughlin hopes that Bradshaw (foot) will practice once this week, Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News reports.

Analysis: Predictably, Bradshaw didn't practice Wednesday, though at this point there's nothing to suggest that his availability for Sunday's game against the Bengals is in any danger.

Bradshaw (foot) had 15 carries for just 48 yards Sunday and saw Andre Brown once again vulture goal-line carries and a score.

Analysis: If this continues going forward (as it has the last two games), Bradshaw's upside would be severely limited.

Bradshaw expected to play

New York Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw is set to play in Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to NFL.com and NFL Network's Kimberly Jones. FULL REPORT

Analysis: Bradshaw will square off against a Steelers front which ranks 9th against the run. He could surprise despite the matchup, in what should be an emotional home game.

Bradshaw (foot) is active for Sunday's game against Pittsburgh.

Analysis: As expected, Bradshaw will tough it out through his painful foot issue, but it if he suffers any in-game setbacks, then Andre Brown and David Wilson are on hand to spell/relieve him Sunday.

Bradshaw (foot) plans to play in Sunday's game against Pittsburgh, NFL Network's Kimberly Jones reports.

Analysis: Andre Brown and David Wilson are on hand, in the event that Bradshaw suffers a pre-game or in-game setback, but as it stands, Bradshaw intends to continue to tough it out through his painful foot issue.

Bradshaw listed as questionable

Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw (foot) is questionable to face the Steelers after missing practice Friday. FULL INJURY ROUNDUP

Analysis: This has been a weekly theme for Bradshaw, the team opting to play it conservative with the veteran throughout the week. While he should be ready to go, make sure you check his status before kickoff.

Bradshaw (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against Pittsburgh, New York Daily News writer Ralph Vacchiano reports.

Analysis: Despite missing Friday's practice, we're rather confident that Bradshaw will be ready for Sunday's game, and a standard workload while he's at it. He has more than earned the benefit of the doubt at this point after routinely toughing it out and playing effectively despite missing lots of practice…read more

Bradshaw (foot) is not practicing Friday, according to Jenny Vrentas of The Newark Star-Ledger.

Analysis: We'll have to see how the Giants officially list Bradshaw later Friday, but for now it would surprise us if he wasn't available for Sunday's 4:25 ET kickoff against the Steelers.

Bradshaw (foot) returned to a limited practice Thursday, Jenny Vrentas of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Analysis: Bradshaw didn't practice Wednesday, but as he continues to deal with a foot issue, expect his practice participation to be managed for the time being, with an eye toward keeping him fit, setback-free and ready to play in games.

Ahmad Bradshaw: (Foot) Sits Out Wednesday

Bradshaw (foot) did not practice Wednesday, the Giants' official site reports.

Analysis: Bradshaw continues to get the bulk of the carries, despite dealing with a sore foot the last two weeks. However, his backup, Andre Brown, poached a goal-line touchdown last week. Barring a setback, Bradshaw should take the field Sunday against Pittsburgh, but we'll monitor his status as the week…read more

Bradshaw (foot) had 22 carries for 78 yards Sunday against the Cowboys. He also lost a fumble.

Analysis: Not a great performance from Bradshaw, who had a goal-line touchdown poached by Andre Brown in the first quarter. While Bradshaw came into the game with touchdowns in three straight games, Brown had a two-game streak of his own, so it seems that Bradshaw may continue to lose a few goal-line touches…read more

Bradshaw is active for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

Analysis: Bradshaw will tough it out Sunday, as expected, with Andre Brown and David Wilson next in line for touches, in the event that Bradshaw is limited or suffers a setback during the course of the game.

Given his track record of playing through foot injuries and the fact that he practiced in a limited fashion on Friday, Bradshaw is expected to play Sunday against the Cowboys, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Analysis: Those who roster Bradshaw are advised to confirm his status prior to the Giants' 4:25 ET kickoff, but at this point we'd be surprised if the running back wasn't out there Sunday. Assuming he suits up, Andre Brown and David Wilson are next in line for carries, if Bradshaw is limited at all or…read more

Bradshaw officially questionable

New York Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw (foot) is questionable to face the Dallas Cowboys after being limited in practice all week. He reportedly didn't do much in practice Friday. FULL INJURY ROUNDUP

Analysis: Andre Brown could see an uptick in carries, but considering Bradshaw was expected to be limited last week and still carried the load to finish with 12.50 fantasy points, he should be ready to go.

Ahmad Bradshaw: (Foot) Questionable For Sunday

Bradshaw (foot) was limited in practice Friday and is questionable for Sunday's game against Dallas, New York Daily News writer Ralph Vacchiano reports.

Analysis: Normally a situation like this would be a major red flag, but Bradshaw has an extensive history of playing hurt with limited practice participation. We have to believe he'll be in for his usual role against Dallas, making him an RB2 in most cases.

Ahmad Bradshaw: (Foot) Plans to Practice Friday

Bradshaw (foot) said that he "feels good" and sat out practice Thursday for precautionary reasons, Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News reports.

Analysis: Bradshaw also said that he will practice Friday and if he does, then he'll remain on track to suit up -- and start -- Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

Ahmad Bradshaw: (Foot) Misses Practice Again

Bradshaw (foot) is not practicing Thursday, Jenny Vrentas of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Analysis: This is somewhat concerning, as coach Tom Coughlin had hoped that Bradshaw would work Thursday. We'd expect the Giants to list Bradshaw as questionable come Friday, though obviously seeing him return to practice -- in any capacity -- before the week ends, would be of great comfort to his owners.

Bradshaw (foot) won't practice Wednesday, Jenny Vrentas of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Analysis: Bradshaw's foot issue flared up in Week 6, when he said his foot was stepped on, but this looks like something that he will continue to play through, albeit, with some maintenance -- such as selectively sitting out practices -- required. Coach Tom Coughlin hopes that Bradshaw will be able to…read more

Bradshaw rides emotional wave

In response to his brief confrontation with coach Tom Coughlin during their contest against the Redskins, Bradshaw responded that his "emotions kicked in, and I just wanted to help my team win as much as possible." WATCH CONFRONTATION

Analysis: Despite losing a short-yardage score to Andre Brown, Bradshaw continued his recent hot-streak, totaling 12.50 fantasy points. He now has posted three straight double-digit games, and squares off against a Cowboys defense in Week 8 which is ranked 16th against the run.

Bradshaw, Brown find end zone

Bradshaw (foot) had 12 carries for 43 yards and a touchdown and four catches for 22 yards Sunday against the Redskins.

Analysis: Bradshaw got 12-of-17 running back carries for the Giants, although Andre Brown had a goal-line carry for a touchdown. He finished the game healthy and will likely continue to get a majority of touches out of the Giants' backfield.

Brown vultures TD

Sticking to his word that all the running backs will see action, Tom Coughlin employed Andre Brown in the red zone, leading to a one yard touchdown run. FOLLOW WITH GAME CENTER

Analysis: Both Brown and Bradshaw have equal carries thus far, but with Bradshaw nursing an injury, this might be an even timeshare.

New York Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw will play in Sunday's game against the Washington Redskins, NFL.com and NFL Network's Kimberly Jones reports. FULL INJURY ROUNDUP

Analysis: Bradshaw plans to tough it out this week, but it is something of a concern that his foot issues have cropped up again, in the wake of him racking up a combined 57 carries over his last two games.

Bradshaw suffers setback

New York Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw missed practice Friday with his foot injury. He's questionable. This is a tricky one. It sure sounded like Bradshaw would be ready to roll earlier in the week, but missing practice Friday is a bad sign. FULL INJURY ROUNDUP

Analysis: It looks like Bradshaw could be a game-time decision, so be sure to have other options available. David Wilson and Andre Brown could wind up with plenty of work against the Washington Redskins.

Ahmad Bradshaw: (Foot) No Friday Practice

Bradshaw (foot) did not practice Friday and is questionable for Sunday's game against Washington, USA Today writer Mike Garafolo reports.

Analysis: Bradshaw is still generally expected to play, but his absence from Friday's practice is a major concern. It looks like Andre Brown and/or David Wilson will get a chance to carry the ball extensively Sunday.

Bradshaw returns to practice

Ahmad Bradshaw's latest foot injury doesn't sound serious. The white-hot running back returned to practice for the New York Giants on Thursday and pronounced himself ready for this week's game against the Washington Redskins. However, when asked if Andre Brown and David Wilson will see any time, coach Tom Coughlin stated "they'll all have chances." FULL STORY

Analysis: The Redskins have been tough against the run this season, but given the fact Bradshaw was the first RB to score against the 49ers in 14 home games, he's worth putting in your lineup.

Ahmad Bradshaw: Downplays Foot Issue

Bradshaw noted Thursday that the issue that kept him out of practice Wednesday is not serious and is simply the result of having his foot stepped on late in Week 6's game against the 49ers, the Newark Star-Ledger reports. "I feel good, man. No setbacks and I'm ready to go," said Bradshaw, who was limited at practice Thursday. "I just got stepped on during the game and it just hurt the bone a little bit, but I'm cool."

Analysis: Meanwhile, coach Tom Coughlin noted that Bradshaw is healthy enough to carry a full rushing load this week against the Redskins, but hinted that Andre Brown (back from his concussion) and David Wilson will have some chances too.

Bradshaw (foot) was limited in practice Thursday, the New York Daily News reports.

Analysis: This marks Bradshaw's first action of the week, which points to him being able to take the field Sunday against Washington. However, be sure to check back for Friday's injury report, as it should indicate the progress he's made through this foot issue.

Ahmad Bradshaw: (Foot) Practices Thursday

Bradshaw (foot) practiced Thursday, Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News reports.

Analysis: We'll have to see if he was limited at all, but at this point Bradshaw appears to be in line to play Sunday against the Redskins, with Andre Brown and David Wilson on hand to spell him in the event of a setback with his foot.

Bradshaw breaks streak

In his "Under the Headset" analysis, Brian Billick notes "Bradshaw became the first opposing player to score a rushing touchdown against the 49ers in 14 home games." READ: BILLICK OBSERVATIONS

Analysis: Bradshaw faces another tough test this week against the Texans' 8th ranked rush defense which has allowed just three rushing scores. As noted however, that shouldn't stop owners from using him as needed.

Coach Tom Coughlin said that Bradshaw (foot) is slated to practice Thursday, USA Today writer Mike Garafolo reports.

Analysis: It's a little troubling that Bradshaw's foot issue -- which Coughlin noted is similar to the one that the running back dealt with last season -- has cropped up again, but the fact that he is in line to practice Thursday suggests that this isn't a major concern just yet. This news could lead to the…read more

Bradshaw was listed on the Giants' initial Week 7 injury report with a foot injury, Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News reports.

Analysis: The Giants did not indicate the extent of Bradshaw's injury, but he underwent foot surgery during the offseason, so it's possible he suffered some sort of setback. Expect more details regarding Bradshaw's status to be available shortly.

Bradshaw had 27 carries for 116 yards and a touchdown Sunday. He also caught one pass for four yards.

Analysis: Bradshaw found the going tough early on against the stout Niners front, but the Giants softened it up in the second half, and Bradshaw had a big game.

Analysis: Bradshaw faces a tough matchup this week against the 49ers. As Michael Fabiano notes in Start 'Em, Sit 'Em, "no team has allowed fewer…read more

Bradshaw should come back to earth

Despite his monster Week 5 performance, Michael Fabiano believes Bradshaw in a risky option against the 49ers because "no team has allowed fewer fantasy points to running backs, and no player at the position has scored a touchdown against them in 2012." FULL START 'EM, SIT 'EM

Analysis: Fantasy owners might not have many options due to the bye week, but temper expectations if you are forced to start Bradshaw.

Brown could miss time

New York Giants running back Andre Brown suffered a concussion in a 41-27 victory over the Cleveland Browns and did not return. FULL INJURY ROUNDUP

Analysis: Ahmad Bradshaw seized the day in Brown's absence by racking up 200 yards rushing and a touchdown. Brown's best fantasy production could be behind him.

Ahmad Bradshaw: 200 Rushing Yards Sunday

Bradshaw had 30 carries for 200 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Browns. He also added three catches for 30 yards.

Analysis: A monster game for Bradshaw, who saw an increased workload after backup Andre Brown had to leave due to a concussion. Bradshaw's yardage total Sunday was more than he had in the entire season coming into the game, as he simply ran all over the Browns. It won't be nearly as easy next week as the…read more

Bradshaw surges past Browns front

Giants RB Ahmad Bradshaw racked up 229 total yards and a touchdown against the Browns defense on Sunday. FULL RECAP

Analysis: Bradshaw carried the load when Andre Brown exited the game due to injury. Fantasy owners reaped the benefits of his increased workload, Bradshaw totaling 26.90 points for the day.

Giants to ride hot hand

Tom Coughlin told NFL Network's Kimberly Jones that Andre Brown will play and the veteran coach plans to ride the hot hand. FULL STORY

Analysis: Add Ahmad Bradshaw and Andre Brown to the list of fantasy headaches. Both of their values will be touch- and -go given Coughlin's remarks, and their Week 5 opponents (Browns) have allowed only one rushing score this season.

Ahmad Bradshaw: Heads Giants' Backfield Sunday

Bradshaw had 13 carries for 39 yards and three catches for 38 yards Sunday.

Analysis: It wasn't a great game for Bradshaw, but he ran hard, made a nice juggling catch, and more importantly, looked healthy and saw the vast majority of the carries. Andre Brown had just five carries for 14 yards and is Bradshaw's clear backup right now.

Bradshaw (neck) is active for Sunday's game against Philadelphia.

Analysis: Bradshaw is out there if you need him Sunday, but he's on track to share the workload with Andre Brown in his return to action Sunday night.

Ahmad Bradshaw: (Neck) Probably Against PHI

Bradshaw (neck) is probable for Sunday's game against Philadelphia, USA Today writer Mike Garafolo reports.

Analysis: Bradshaw should be ready to start Sunday, but he'll be splitting the workload in large part with Andre Brown. He might be closer to a flex option in most leagues than a clear starter, at least until he demonstrates he's over the injury.

Bradshaw (neck) participated in Friday's practice, Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News reports.

Analysis: Bradshaw has been able to practice all week, so all signs point towards him starting Sunday night against the Eagles, barring a setback. However, look for Andre Brown to be involved as well.

Bradshaw (neck) apparently has a disc injury, the Newark Star-Ledger reports. "It's pretty much like an inflamed disc, and it's just sitting right on the spinal cord," Bradshaw said. "The swelling went down, and I feel fine now. No setbacks, no problems."

Analysis: Bradshaw is symptom free for now, but there's a chance the injury could flare up when he takes a hit. Expect him to start Sunday's game, but his workload will be determined by his effectiveness and health.

Bradshaw (neck) practiced fully Thursday, Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News reports.

Analysis: Bradshaw's Week 4 status seems to be secure, barring a setback, but what is unclear is what his workload might be Sunday night against the Eagles. That is because Andre Brown, who filled well for Bradshaw while he was out, has earned a role in the team's backfield going forward, something that has…read more

Bradshaw (neck) said he is symptom-free and is not experiencing any pain, Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News reports.

Analysis: Bradshaw had an inflamed disc in his neck and seems to be fully recovered for the moment. However, he admitted that an aggravation of the injury could occur at any point. While he should start Sunday night against the Eagles, he remains a big injury risk going forward. Andre Brown is a must-own for…read more

Bradshaw returning to role

Ahmad Bradshaw is expected to take his starting job back from Andre Brown (for both players).

Analysis: While he is likely to get his job back, it doesn't mean this won't become more of a timeshare situation. Fantasy owners will want to temper expectations for both backs once he returns since they will eat into each other's value.

Bradshaw (neck) will practice Wednesday, Jenny Vrentas of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Analysis: The report adds that coach Tom Coughlin said that Bradshaw will start this week, but noted that Andre Brown will have a role in Sunday night's game against the Eagles. Bradshaw's anticipated return to his starting role, is of course contingent on no setbacks in the coming days, but at the moment it…read more

Bradshaw (neck) is fully expected to regain his starting job when he returns, which is likely to be Sunday night against the Eagles, NFL.com reports.

Analysis: Andre Brown filled in nicely for Bradshaw the past two weeks, recording 220 yards from scrimmage and three touchdowns over that span. However, Bradshaw looks like he may return this week, so the popular waiver-wire commodity may see his opportunities diminish a bit. Brown still has value though and…read more

Bradshaw could return in Week 4

New York Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw has been cleared to return to practice from his neck injury. It sounds like he'll be back in Week 4.

Analysis: This doesn't automatically mean Andre Brown loses all of his value. It would be a surprise to see Bradshaw immediately go back to having the bulk of the carries.

Ahmad Bradshaw: (Neck) Guarantees He'll Play Sunday

Bradshaw (neck) guaranteed that he'll play Sunday night against the Eagles, Paul Schwartz of the New York Post reports.

Analysis: "You can guarantee I'll be out there fighting with my team," Bradshaw said Tuesday. He was cleared by doctors to return to practice Monday, so if he is able to practice without any setbacks this week, he should be able to fulfill his promise of playing Sunday.

Ahmad Bradshaw: (Neck) Cleared to Practice

Bradshaw (sprained neck) was cleared by doctors Monday to return to practice this week, Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News reports.

Analysis: Though Bradshaw is expected to retain his starting job upon his return to the lineup, which will likely occur Sunday night against the Eagles barring a setback, Andre Brown figures to have earned a significant role in the Giants' offense going forward, given his production over the last two games.

Ahmad Bradshaw: (Neck) Still Having Issues

Coach Tom Coughlin said that Bradshaw (neck) "still has some issues" and is being re-evaluated at the hospital Monday morning, Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News reports.

Analysis: Andre Brown's strong showing filling in for Bradshaw in Week 3 probably lessens the urgency to get Bradshaw back on the field, but as early as it is in the Giants' Week 4 preparations, Coughlin's words on Monday suggest that Bradshaw should be considered iffy for Sunday night's game against the…read more

Bradshaw (neck) did not practice Monday, Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News reports.

Analysis: While fellow banged-up Giants Hakeem Nicks and Domenik Hixon, were spotted riding exercise bikes Monday, Bradshaw wasn't on the field. While that doesn't necessary suggest anything ominous, it does set the stage for a week of tracking Bradshaw's status as the team's Sunday evening contest against…read more

Coach Tom Coughlin said he's guessing Bradshaw (neck) will be back for next week's game against the Eagles, though the running back hasn't yet been cleared by the doctors, the Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Analysis: Even if Bradshaw is back, it remains to be seen how the Giants will apportion the carries between him and Andre Brown going forward. Our feeling is Bradshaw will still be the starter if he's 100 percent, but it's hard to imagine Brown not seeing a significant role.

Brown earns stripes

Andre Brown should have earned a permanent role in the Giants offense with huge game against Carolina.

Analysis: With Ahmad Bradshaw facing continued injury issues this season, it won't be surprising to see him atop the depth chart moving forward. Still, it is likely to become a timeshare situation once Bradshaw returns, so fantasy owners should get what they can out of Brown while they can.

Brown to take lead role

Andre Brown is expected to carry the load for the Giants in Week 3 now that Ahmad Bradshaw has been ruled out.

Analysis: With Ahmad Bradshaw nursing a neck injury, Brown and David Wilson will be tasked with handling the run duties. Brown is the expected favorite, but Wilson could potentially make this a timeshare situation. For now, consider Brown based on the matchup in your fantasy leagues as a No. 3 RB/flex play.

Ahmad Bradshaw: (Neck) Out Thursday

Bradshaw (neck) is out for Thursday's game at Carolina, Mike Garafolo of The USA Today reports.

Analysis: Bradshaw's absence is not a surprise, with only three full days to recover from Sunday's injury. Expect Andre Brown to see the bulk of the carries in his stead, with rookie RB David Wilson providing relief.

Ahmad Bradshaw: (Neck) Sits Tuesday's Practice

Bradshaw (neck) did not practice Tuesday, ESPN New York reports.

Analysis: Coach Tom Coughlin did not go into detail on the status of Bradshaw, just reiterating that the running back has a "neck" injury. The Giants play the Panthers on Thursday already, so with a shortened week, Bradshaw's chances of playing are shaky at best. If he is unable to suit up Thursday, Andre…read more

Bradshaw (neck) did not participate in Monday's walk-through, the Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Analysis: He's questionable at best for Thursday's game. Look for Andre Brown and, to a lesser extent, David Wilson to have expanded roles.

Bradshaw has neck sprain

The New York Daily News says that it's believed New York Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw has a "neck sprain."

Analysis: Fantasy owners should keep a close eye on his progression throughout the week given the location of his injury. David Wilson and Andre Brown would likely carry the load if Bradshaw misses time.

The "projected" injury report (that is, how the report would have looked if the team had practiced) released by the Giants on Monday notes that Bradshaw (sprained neck) would not have practiced, Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News reports.

Analysis: At this point, there has to be some concern surrounding Bradshaw's availability for Thursday's game against the Panthers. If he is unable to play this week, look for Andre Brown (who stepped in for Bradshaw on Sunday) to see an expanded role, along with David Wilson, the first-rounder who the…read more

Ahmad Bradshaw: Neck Sprain

Bradshaw's neck injury is being called a sprain, Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News reports.

Analysis: While the Giants didn't have an update on Bradshaw on Monday, the clock is already ticking here, with the team on a short week, facing the Panthers on Thursday. Though first-rounder David Wilson (three carries for six yards in Week 2) is still listed as the No. 2 running back on the Giants' depth…read more

Brown, not Wilson, replaces Bradshaw

In replacing the injured Ahmad Bradshaw, Andre Brown rushed for 71 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries for the New York Giants on Sunday against Tampa Bay.

Analysis: A surprising development in New York, with Brown surpassing the rookie Wilson on the depth chart. Apparently, Tom Coughlin's doghouse is…read more

Ahmad Bradshaw: MRI on Tap

Bradshaw is slated to undergo an MRI on his neck Monday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

Analysis: Though David Wilson is the Giants' backup RB with the most long-term upside, it's worth noting that he only had three carries for six yards Sunday, while Andre Brown carried 13 times for 71 yards in relief of Bradshaw. As a result, Brown is worth speculative pickup, especially by Bradshaw owners…read more

Brown breaks out against Buccaneers

Andre Brown came in to replace an injured Ahmad Bradshaw to a neck injury on Sunday and carried the ball 11 times for 60 yards, potentially earning his role as the backup above rookie David Wilson. Before Sunday's game Brown had carried the ball only twice in his career when he was with the Denver Broncos in 2010.

Analysis: Brown should be plucked from the waiver wire if news comes down that Bradshaw will miss extended time. Given Wilson's early fumble issues, it's not a stretch to see Brown ultimately taking on a lead role.

Ahmad Bradshaw: (Neck) Won't Return to Sunday's Game

Bradshaw (neck) will not return to Sunday's game against the Bucs, Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News reports.

Analysis: Andre Brown and David Wilson will handle the Giants' rushing load the rest of the game Sunday, with Brown notably getting the initial work, upon Bradshaw's departure from the game.

Bradshaw left Sunday's game in the first half with a neck injury.

Analysis: He was taken to the locker room for x-rays. Andre Brown has seen the early work in his place.

Wilson still the handcuff

Giants coach Tom Coughlin came down hard on RB David Wilson's fumble during Wednesday night's opener, stating "this is not preseason. Let's go for Stage 2 here. This is serious business now."

Analysis: Fantasy owners who drafted Wilson should still consider Wilson the handcuff to Ahmad Bradshaw. It's likely the rookie will be called upon plenty of times throughout the season, especially with Bradshaw's recent injury history.

Bradshaw had 17 carries for 78 yards and a touchdown Wednesday. He also caught two passes for 15 yards.

Analysis: Overall the totals look pretty good, but Bradshaw had nowhere to run for most of the night and broke a 33-yard run when the Cowboys were in prevent-defense. Bradshaw looks strong, but the Giants offensive line wasn't opening a lot of holes.

Ahmad Bradshaw: (Hand) Full Practice Sunday

Bradshaw (hand) practiced fully Sunday, Newark Star-Ledger writer Mike Garafolo reports.

Analysis: Sunday's full-participation should quell any concerns that Bradshaw's Week 1 availability will be impacted at all by his hand injury.

Bradshaw (hand) is among the players slated to not play in the Giants' preseason finale Wednesday, the team's official site reports.

Analysis: There's no reason to think that Bradshaw's Week 1 availability is in peril and his absence Wednesday will provide his backups with one more preseason crack at showcasing their skills.

Bradshaw (hand) won't play Friday against the Bears, Newark Star-Ledger writer Mike Garafolo reports.

Analysis: With Bradshaw sitting, rookie David Wilson is drawing the start at running back for the Giants on Friday.

Bradshaw (hand) was limited to individual drills Monday, the Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Analysis: Bradshaw was not surprisingly limited Monday after bruising his hand and popping a cyst on it Saturday. It's not considered a major issue, but with that in play, rookie David Wilson saw some added first-team reps Monday ahead of D.J. Ware.

Bradshaw (hand) was spotted at practice Monday, Newark Star-Ledger writer Mike Garafolo reports.

Analysis: That's further confirmation that Bradshaw's right hand contusion was in fact a minor issue. Still, Saturday's injury scare is a reminder to familiarize yourself with Bradshaw's top backups, rookie first-rounder David Wilson and 6-0 225-pounder, D.J. Ware.

According to coach Tom Coughlin, Bradshaw has a "right hand contusion," Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News reports.

Analysis: Bradshaw left Saturday's game with a hand injury, afterward noting that he suffered a popped cyst on the top of his hand. Though Coughlin's description of Bradshaw's injury isn't too specific, it does seem to confirm the minor nature of the issue.

Bradshaw, who left Saturday's game with a hand injury, said he merely suffered a popped cyst on the top of his hand when he hit it on a player's helmet, the Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Analysis: In any event, it doesn't sound serious, and Bradshaw should be fine for the start of the season.

Bradshaw left Saturday's preseason game on New York's opening series after injuring his right hand, the Associated Press reports. X-rays were negative.

Analysis: It looks like Bradshaw avoided a significant injury, but watch his status in practice the next week or so.

Bradshaw gained 12 yards on three carries in the Giants' first preseason game against the Jaguars this past Friday.

Analysis: Bradshaw should be in for another productive year, especially since Brandon Jacobs went to San Francisco via free agency. Rookie running back David Wilson did record 43 yards on seven carries during the game, and he'll certainly get touches during the season, but Bradshaw should still be the…read more

Bradshaw said his foot "feels great" after minicamp, The New York Daily News reports.

Analysis: Bradshaw underwent a procedure on his foot in the offseason, but says he is ready to go. He said that he could have done more in mini camp, but wants to "take things slow." With the bruising Brandon Jacobs no longer around, first-rounder David Wilson will back up Bradshaw, though how many carries…read more

With the drafting of David Wilson in the first round, the Giants bought some Bradshaw insurance, and at the very least, a similar back to complement him in the team's offense.

Analysis: Assuming Bradshaw's 100 percent healthy he'll almost certainly be the starter, but Wilson is explosive, quick and runs hard for a smaller player, too. And like Bradshaw he can also be an effective receiver out of the backfield.

Ahmad Bradshaw: Underwent Foot Procedure

Bradshaw faces a three-month recovery after undergoing a procedure that transplanted bone marrow from his hip into his problematic foot in an effort to promote new bone growth, Newark Star-Ledger writer Mike Garafolo reports.

Analysis: It's not apparent whether the procedure was an absolute necessity or merely a proactive means of putting the final touches on the recovery of Bradshaw's foot. We have to believe, in any case, that although this procedure might improve Bradshaw's condition in the meantime, he'll likely remain more…read more

Bradshaw had 17 carries for 72 yards and an accidental touchdown in Super Bowl 46. He also caught two passes for 19 yards.

Analysis: Bradshaw tried to stop short of the goal line to kill more clock, but his momentum carried him in. Nonetheless, a solid game for him (except for a fumble that the Giants fortunately recovered), while playing on an injured foot. Assuming he's healthy, he should be the team's lead back again next…read more

Bradshaw (foot) is active for Sunday's Super Bowl against the Patriots.

Analysis: No surprise here, given how the Giants have managed Bradshaw's foot injury all season. He's on track to handle the majority of the team's rushing load Sunday, with Brandon Jacobs in the mix as well.

Ahmad Bradshaw: (Foot) Probable For Sunday

Bradshaw (foot) did not practice Friday but is probable for Sunday's Super Bowl against the Patriots, NFL Network's Albert Breer reports.

Analysis: Even with the missed Friday practice, there's no reason to suspect that Bradshaw will be especially limited Sunday.

Ahmad Bradshaw: (Foot) Limited Practice Thursday

Bradshaw (foot) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Newark Star-Ledger writer Mike Garafolo reports.

Analysis: Even if Bradshaw heads into the Super Bowl without a full practice, there's no reason to think he won't be close to full strength for Sunday. The Giants have managed his injury this way since the start of December, and it has proven to be an effective method.

Bradshaw (foot) was limited in practice Wednesday, the Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Analysis: Bradshaw wasn't going to practice initially, but apparently felt up to it. Barring a setback, he'll be ready to go on Sunday.

Analysis: Coach Tom Coughlin said this is just a normal routine day off for Bradshaw, who is fully expected to play in the Super Bowl.

Bradshaw (foot) returned to practice Friday, Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News reports.

Analysis: Bradshaw isn't in any danger of missing the Super Bowl. He was surely just resting up after a hard-fought NFC Championship game.

Bradshaw (foot) did not practice Thursday, Newark Star-Ledger writer Mike Garafolo reports.

Analysis: Coming off an impressive game in the NFC Championship, there's no doubt that Bradshaw will be his usual self in the Super Bowl as long as he avoids setbacks. To ensure that is the case, it wouldn't be surprising if the Giants kept him out of practice until next week, as the Super Bowl isn't until…read more

Bradshaw had 20 carries for 74 yards and six catches for 52 yards against the 49ers on Sunday.

Analysis: A decent showing against a very tough run defense. Meanwhile Brandon Jacobs had only five carries.

Bradshaw (foot) is probable for Sunday's game against San Francisco, Newark Star-Ledger writer Mike Garafolo reports.

Analysis: Bradshaw appears unaffected by the injury at this point, but those who invested in him in playoff pools should nonetheless keep their expectations low against a San Francisco defense that has been one of the best ever against the run.

Ahmad Bradshaw: Practices Friday

Bradshaw (foot) returned to practice Friday, The Star-Ledger reports.

Analysis: Bradshaw did not practice the previous two days, but his Friday return indicates the Giants again took the cautious route with him this week. Expect Bradshaw to be ready to go for Sunday's NFC Championship Game.

Bradshaw (foot) was the only Giants' player not practicing Thursday, New York Daily News writer Ralph Vacchiano reports.

Analysis: This is not an unusual injury management pattern for Bradshaw and as long as he returns to the field Friday, as he did last week, the running back should be fine for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Bradshaw (foot) did not practice Wednesday, ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Resting his foot is part of Bradshaw's weekly routine, so this does not represent any sort of red flag with regards to the running back's availability for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Bradshaw had 12 carries for 63 yards Sunday and three receptions for 21 yards.

Analysis: There wasn't a lot of room to run most of the time, but Bradshaw had a couple big plays that upped his overall average. He should find the sledding even tougher next week in San Francisco.

Bradshaw (foot/back) is active for Sunday's game against Green Bay.

Analysis: The Giants look are underdogs Sunday, but with their running game (of which Bradhsaw is a major cog) and pass rush both coming on of late, they look like a dangerous opponent for the Packers.

Ahmad Bradshaw: Listed As Probable

Bradshaw (foot/back) is probable for Sunday's game against Green Bay, New York Daily News writer Ralph Vacchiano reports.

Analysis: Brandon Jacobs has done well for himself lately, but Bradshaw is still the top fantasy option in the Giants' backfield. Those who invested in him in playoff pools shouldn't get their hopes high as far as getting another game out of him beyond Sunday, though.

Bradshaw (back/foot) was back at practice Friday, Newark Star-Ledger writer Mike Garafolo reports.

Analysis: Bradshaw and the Giants will take aim at the top-seeded Packers on Sunday. While they are clear underdogs, the Giants look like a dangerous opponent, with their running game (of which Bradhsaw is a major cog) and pass rush both coming on of late.

Bradshaw (foot/back) did not practice Thursday, The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Analysis: Bradshaw, who has been managing his foot issues of late, is now also dealing with a sore back, but neither ailment is expect to keep him out of practice Friday or limit him in Sunday's game against the Packers.

Bradshaw (foot) will not practice Wednesday, Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News reports.

Analysis: Bradshaw missed a couple days of practice last week and still played, so the Giants are likely just giving him another day to rest Wednesday. Bradshaw is still in line to play a key role in Sunday's game against the Packers.

Bradshaw had 14 carries for 63 yards and caught five passes for 22 yards.

Analysis: Both Bradshaw and Brandon Jacobs were effective Sunday, splitting the workload evenly.

Ahmad Bradshaw: Will Play Sunday

Bradshaw (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Analysis: Brandon Jacobs will get his share of touches Sunday, but Bradshaw remains the team's lead back, having recorded double digits in all but one of the games he played in this season. He'll take aim at an Atlanta defense that allowed an average of 97 rushing yards a game this season.

Ahmad Bradshaw: Back at Practice

Bradshaw (foot) was at practice Friday, Newark Star-Ledger writer Mike Garafolo reports. He is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Analysis: Bradshaw loses some carries to Brandon Jacobs, but he's still the Giants' lead back and a solid option for those backing the them in playoff leagues, in the hopes that the team -- led by QB Eli Manning and a bolstered pass rush -- is peaking at the right time.

Bradshaw (foot) did not practice Thursday, New York Daily News writer Ralph Vacchiano reports.

Analysis: Bradshaw is still fully expected to be fine for Sunday's game against the Falcons. He has been following this routine since the start of December.

Bradshaw (foot) did not practice Wednesday, New York Daily News writer Ralph Vacchiano reports.

Analysis: Bradshaw missing practices was often par for the course during the regular season, so unless we hear otherwise, we suspect that he's in no danger of missing Sunday's playoff game against the Falcons.

Bradshaw had 16 carries for 57 yards and a touchdown. He also caught three passes for 12 yards and another score.

Analysis: It wasn't pretty, but Bradshaw wound up with another two scores, giving him 11 for the year in 12 games.

Bradshaw (foot) is active for Sunday's game against Dallas.

Analysis: Brandon Jacobs remains in the Giants' backfield mix, which hurts Bradshaw's workload some, but fortunately for owners of both players, the Giants are all-in this week, with a playoff spot on the line.

Bradshaw (foot) is probable for Sunday's game against Dallas, New York Daily News writer Ralph Vacchiano reports.

Analysis: Bradshaw's fantasy value is limited due to Brandon Jacobs, but he's still no worse than a flex play for the majority of his owners.

Bradshaw (foot) returned to practice Friday, New York Daily News writer Ralph Vacchiano reports.

Analysis: Bradshaw still has Brandon Jacobs to contend with, but in a week of sorting out who's playing for what, you can bet that all Giants and Cowboys' players will be all-in Sunday night, with a playoff berth at stake.

Bradshaw (foot) did not practice Thursday, the Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Analysis: Bradshaw will likely participate in Friday's practice though, with the expectation that he will be fine for Sunday night's game against Dallas.

Bradshaw (foot) did not practice Wednesday, the Giants' official site reports.

Analysis: This is not really a red flag, as Bradshaw has been limited to one or two practice days a week of late. He should be fine for Sunday night's game against the Cowboys.

Bradshaw (foot) had 15 carries for 54 yards and two scores. He also caught one pass for eight yards.

Analysis: Bradshaw didn't get a lot on a per-carry basis but he looked impressive running over Jets defenders at the goal line. He should be a decent start next week against the Cowboys.

Bradshaw (foot) is active for Saturday's game against the Jets.

Analysis: The Jets have struggled lately stopping good running attacks and Bradshaw will certainly get plenty of opportunities to shine Saturday. He may lose a goal-line carry or two to Brandon Jacobs but he remains the top running back for the Giants.

Bradshaw (foot) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Jets, the New York Daily News' Ralph Vacchiano reports.

Analysis: Bradshaw has been limited in practice over the last few weeks and has been able to play each Sunday, so don't expect anything different this week, especially in a huge game against the Jets. Check back before kickoff, but he looks safe to insert into fantasy lineups.

Coach Tom Coughlin said Bradshaw (foot) missed practice Thursday because he practiced Wednesday and "did a lot," the Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Analysis: In other words, there wasn't a setback, and Bradshaw should be available Saturday against the Jets.

Bradshaw (foot) did not practice Thursday, the Newark Star-Ledger's Mike Garafolo reports.

Analysis: Bradshaw practiced Wednesday, so it's unclear if this represents a setback, or if the Giants are simply playing it safe with him by giving him a breather in the team's last practice of the week leading up to Saturday's game against the Jets.

Bradshaw (foot) was limited during Wednesday's practice, reports Ralph Vacchiano of the NY Daily News.

Analysis: Bradshaw should be available in Saturday's big game against the Jets.

Bradshaw (foot) was on the team's pre-practice injury report Tuesday, the Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Analysis: He's likely to practice Thursday and should be fine to go against the Jets Saturday.

Bradshaw had 10 carries for 58 yards and a touchdown Sunday. He also caught three passes for 21 yards.

Analysis: The touchdown came in garbage time, but it looks like Bradshaw's reasonably healthy and out of coach Tom Coughlin's doghouse.

Bradshaw (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Redskins.

Analysis: Bradshaw missed most of his snaps last week due to a rules violation but he expects to get a majority of the carries for the Giants on Sunday.

Ahmad Bradshaw: (Foot) Probable For Sunday

Bradshaw (foot) is probable for Sunday's game against Washington.

Analysis: Brandon Jacobs ran well last week and will maintain a prominent role in the running game, but it would disappoint if Bradshaw didn't reach the 15-touch mark Sunday.

Bradshaw returned to practice Friday, the Star-Ledger's Mike Garafolo reports.

Analysis: Barring a setback in practice, Bradshaw looks probable for Sunday's game against the Redskins. We'll update his status if Tom Coughlin addresses his health following practice, but all signs are pointing to Bradshaw suiting up again for the Giants.

Bradshaw (foot) worked on the stationary bike Thursday, New York Daily News writer Ralph Vacchiano reports.

Analysis: Look for Bradshaw to return to practice Friday and assuming no setbacks, he'll be fine for Sunday's game against the Redskins.

Bradshaw (foot) was held out of practice Wednesday, reports the NFL's official site.

Analysis: Bradshaw did not practice in the middle of last week either, so don't be alarmed. Assuming Bradshaw can stay out of trouble (he was benched during the first half of last week's game for violating team rules), he should be available against the Redskins on Sunday.

Bradshaw had 12 yards on eight carries Sunday against the Cowboys. He also added one reception for seven yards.

Analysis: Bradshaw was benched to start the game by coach Tom Coughlin for violating team rules, and with Brandon Jacobs running well, he never got a chance to contribute. There will be better days ahead for Bradshaw, but this was a real killer to any owners who were counting on him this week.

Bradshaw did not start Sunday night due to violating team rules, the Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Analysis: Instead of Jacobs taking Bradshaw's place, it was third-string running back D.J. Ware who got the start.

Bradshaw (foot) is active for Sunday night's game against the Cowboys.

Analysis: Brandon Jacobs could cut into his carries this week, but Bradshaw is out there if you need him this Sunday.

Though Bradshaw (foot) was listed as limited at practice Friday, he is probable for Sunday night's game against the Cowboys, the Giants' official site reports.

Analysis: The same applies to Brandon Jacobs, setting the stage for both to play this week. While Jacobs figures to cut into his Week 14 workload, the fact that Bradshaw's owners don't have a "questionable/game-time decision" scenario to deal with is a big plus, given Sunday's late kickoff.

As expected, Bradshaw (foot) returned to practice Friday, the Star-Ledger's Mike Garafolo reports.

Analysis: Both Bradshaw and fellow tailback Brandon Jacobs returned to the practice field Friday, so the Giants should have their backfield intact when they take on the Cowboys on Sunday night. We'll further update their status if head coach Tom Coughlin addresses their availability after practice.

Ahmad Bradshaw: (Foot) Expected to Practice Friday

Both Bradshaw (foot) and Brandon Jacobs are slated to practice Friday, according to coach Tom Coughlin, New York Daily News writer Ralph Vacchiano reports.

Analysis: Assuming that's the case, then the Giants backfield should be intact Sunday night, but both will first need to get through Friday's practice without a setback before that scenario is set up.

Ahmad Bradshaw: (Foot) Not Practicing

Bradshaw (foot) didn't practice Thursday, New York Daily News writer Ralph Vacchiano reports.

Analysis: Neither did fellow running back Brandon Jacobs, so hopefully Friday's practice will shed some light on the team's backfield situation, especially with the Giants involved in the Sunday night game this week.

Bradshaw (foot) did not practice Wednesday, the Giants' official site reports.

Analysis: No setbacks have been reported with Bradshaw's foot injury, so this could well be simply a maintenance day for the running back. Brandon Jacobs also missed practice Wednesday, but hopefully Thursday's practice will add some clarity to the situation, assumimg one or both of the backs return to the…read more

Bradshaw (foot) said he felt fine after Sunday's loss to the Packers, the Newark Star-Ledger reports. "I thought I'd be sore, not even able to walk," the Giants running back said, "but I feel great and can move on."

Analysis: Bradshaw is a good bet to start against the Cowboys this week.

Bradshaw (foot) had a team-high 11 carries for 38 yards and caught two passes for nine yards in Sunday's 38-35 loss to the Packers.

Analysis: Bradshaw didn't appear to be hampered by his foot injury, at least early in the game when he made his normal cuts. Brandon Jacobs had just eight carries, but was more effective with 59 yards and a touchdown. Even still, it's positive that Bradshaw was able to touch the ball 13 times in his first…read more

Ahmad Bradshaw: (Foot) Active Sunday

Bradshaw (foot) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Packers.

Analysis: We'll have to see if he can get through the game without a setback, but Bradshaw is out there if you need him Sunday, which is good news for the Giants, who wouldn't mind an upgrade over Brandon Jacobs' average of 3.1 yards per carry.

The Giants expect Bradshaw (foot) to play Sunday against the Packers, ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports.

Analysis: It's still advisable to verify Bradshaw's status prior to the Giants' 4:15 ET kickoff, but it looks like he'll be able to give it a go this weekend, barring a setback.

Ahmad Bradshaw: (Foot) Officially Listed as Questionable

Bradshaw (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers after participating in Friday's practice in a limited fashion, the Newark Star-Ledger reports. "He did okay. He went and worked," coach Tom Coughlin said Friday. "He's telling me all the things I want to hear. But he did okay, did all right. We'll see how he is in the morning."

Analysis: Bradshaw wants to play Sunday, with the implication being that if Friday's practice didn't cause any setbacks, then that's something that could happen. For now, the "questionable" designation that he has been tagged with seems accurate, but things are clearly trending in a positive direction here.

Bradshaw (foot) is practicing for the first time since injuring his foot against the Dolphins on October 30, the Star-Ledger's Mike Garafolo reports.

Analysis: Head coach Tom Coughlin said earlier in the week that Bradshaw needed to practice if he had any chance of playing Sunday against the Packers. No word on if Bradshaw is going through a full practice, but we'd be surprised if he was back at full speed after sitting out for a month.

Ahmad Bradshaw: (Foot) Must Practice To Play

Coach Tom Coughlin said Bradshaw (foot), who did not practice Thursday, must practice Friday to have a chance to play against Green Bay on Sunday, Newark Star-Ledger writer Mike Garafolo reports.

Analysis: Bradshaw previously said he could play without practicing, but Coughlin appears to be overruling him here. Bradshaw is highly questionable for Sunday.

Ahmad Bradshaw: (Foot) Optimistic To Play Sunday

Though Bradshaw (foot) doesn't expect to practice this week, he believes that there's a "big shot" that he will play against the Packers on Sunday, New York Daily News writer Ralph Vacchiano reports.

Analysis: Bradshaw's sunny outlook about his potential return Sunday is refreshing, but it remains to be seen if the Giants would sign off him suiting up this weekend without having practiced. Bradshaw has a history of displaying unwarranted optimism regarding his injuries.

Bradshaw is slated to work with the Giants trainers this week to determine the status of his recovery from a foot injury, the team's official site reports.

Analysis: Bradshaw was spotted on an exercise bike during practice Wednesday, so apparently he's still not ready to run with his teammates, which clouds his Week 13 status.

Ahmad Bradshaw: (Foot) Out Monday

Bradshaw (foot) is out for Monday's game against New Orleans, Newsday's Tom Rock reports.

Analysis: Brandon Jacobs will once again take the top running back role for the Giants on Monday. It's not clear how likely it is for Bradshaw to return against Green Bay the following week.

Ahmad Bradshaw: (Foot) No Practice Friday

Bradshaw (foot) did not practice Friday, the Newark Star-Ledger's Mike Garafolo reports.

Analysis: Bradshaw, who was able to do some light work on the side Friday in order to test his foot, then rode the bike. At this point, it would seem that he's not likely to play Monday against the Saints, but the extra preparation day makes it too early to rule him out just yet.

Bradshaw (foot) did not practice Thursday, New York Daily News writer Ralph Vacchiano reports.

Analysis: Bradshaw remains iffy this week, but he at least has an extra day to try to get things going, with the Giants playing in the Monday night game against the Saints.

Bradshaw (foot) is progressing, but he has not been cleared to practice by team doctors, ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: We'll see if Bradshaw is able to return to practice later this week, but for now his status for Monday's game against the Saints is cloudy.

Ahmad Bradshaw: (Foot) Ruled Out

Bradshaw (foot) is out for Sunday's game against the Eagles, the Giants' official site reports.

Analysis: Bradshaw hopes to play next week, but Sunday night look for a heavy dose of Brandon Jacobs, with D.J. Ware in the Giants' backfield mix as well.

Bradshaw (foot) sat out of practice again Friday, The Bergen Record's Jeff Roberts reports.

Analysis: Bradshaw has to be considered doubtful at this point, as he's been unable to practice throughout the week. He believes he'll be healthy enough to play against the Saints in Week 12, but Sunday night against the Eagles seems like a stretch. We'll pass along a note if he's ruled out before the…read more

Ahmad Bradshaw: (Foot) Aiming for Week 12 Return?

Bradshaw (foot) said he will definitely play against New Orleans in two weeks, New York Daily News writer Ralph Vacchiano reports.

Analysis: He didn't rule himself out for Sunday's game against Philadelphia in saying it, but an appearance against the Eagles nonetheless seems unlikely. Still, Bradshaw is confident he won't be out much longer.

Bradshaw (foot) didn't practice Thursday, Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News reports.

Analysis: At this point, it remains unlikely that we'll see Bradshaw out there Sunday against the Eagles, which suggests that a busy night is upcoming for Brandon Jacobs.

Ahmad Bradshaw: (Foot) Iffy This Week

Mike Garafolo of the Star-Ledger reports that the word is that it doesn't look like Bradshaw (foot) will return to action this weekend.

Analysis: While that can be filed away under "beat writer speculation," we suspect that it's an accurate assessment. Still, we'll monitor Bradshaw's status closely as the week rolls along.

Ahmad Bradshaw: (Foot) Not Ready to Practice

According to coach Tom Coughlin, Bradshaw (foot) has made "a little bit" of progress, but won't practice Wednesday, the Newark Star-Ledger's Mike Garafolo reports.

Analysis: It's early in the week, but unless Bradshaw's status clears up in a hurry, the Giants' Sunday night kickoff will make rolling with him in Week 11 problematic.

Bradshaw (foot) will not play in Sunday's game against the 49ers, the Newark Star-Ledger's Mike Garafolo reports.

Analysis: Bradshaw sat out of practice again Friday. Brandon Jacobs will get the bulk of the carries against the 49ers in Week 10, but San Francisco has the top-ranked run defense in the league, so Jacobs isn't a great play. He could punch one in from close, but don't expect Jacobs to run through the 49ers…read more

Bradshaw, according to an anonymous source, won't play Sunday, the Newark Star Ledger reports. The source also indicated he could miss next week's game against the Eagles.

Analysis: We're always skeptical of anonymous sources because there's no way to know how credible they are. But Bradshaw hasn't practiced, and given his history of foot injuries, we'd consider other options. D.J. Ware would get more work if he can't go, and Da'Rei Scott could even get some reps.

Ahmad Bradshaw: (Foot) Not Practicing

Bradshaw (foot) wasn't at practice Thursday, Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News reports.

Analysis: Though we suppose that Bradshaw could still return this weekend against the 49ers if he's able to practice Friday, that possibility doesn't seem very likely at this point.

Bradshaw (foot) did not practice Wednesday, according to the NFL's official site.

Analysis: This doesn't necessarily mean that Bradshaw is going to miss Sunday's game, but he'll need to get back on the practice field in the next couple days to play. Consider him questionable at this point in the week.

Ahmad Bradshaw: (Foot) Encouraging Signs, Status Uncertain

Coach Tom Coughlin says there are "encouraging signs" with Bradshaw (foot) but his status for Sunday's game won't be determined until Tuesday at the earliest, The New York Daily News reports.

Analysis: Although there was initially some worry Bradshaw was going to require surgery on the foot, it appears he will be able to work his way back on his own. However, the broken bone could be the kind of injury to limit him until he can get it fixed at the end of the season, which could mean added reps…read more

Ahmad Bradshaw: (Foot) Declared Out

Bradshaw (foot) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against New England, Giants.com reports.

Analysis: As expected, Bradshaw will miss at least one game with his cracked foot. Brandon Jacobs should get a significant workload Sunday.

Bradshaw does not need surgery to repair a broken bone in his right foot, the Associated Press reports. "The doctors felt that it wouldn't be necessary for him to have surgery right now," coach Tom Coughlin said.

Analysis: Bradshaw is listed as doubtful for this week's game against the Patriots, though the plan for the rest of the season is for him to try to work through the pain. Even if he's able to do that, the Giants have two healthier options in Brandon Jacobs and D.J. Ware, so it's almost a certainty Bradshaw…read more

Ahmad Bradshaw: (Foot) Possible Game-Time Decision?

Bradshaw (foot) is a "possible game-time decision" according to coach Tom Coughlin, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: A "possible game-time decision" is about as close to a lottery ticket as you can get. Chances are Bradshaw sits on Sunday, and fantasy owners should prepare as such.

Ahmad Bradshaw: (Foot) Doubtful For Sunday

Bradshaw is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game, Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News reports.

Analysis: Although "doubtful" is technically supposed to mean a 25% chance of playing, Julius Peppers is the only player this year to play after being listed as doubtful, so unless the Giants broadcast a retraction, it's time to find a replacement. Brandon Jacobs will take the brunt of the carries in…read more

Bradshaw (foot) was not on the field for the beginning of Giants practice, the New York Daily News' Ebenezer Samuel reports.

Analysis: Bradshaw's status for Sunday's game against the Patriots is still up in the air, but it's not encouraging that he's absent from practice. Rumblings around the league are that Brandon Jacobs will get his chance to prove he can still carry the load, but we should know more when head coach Tom…read more

Bradshaw's (foot) status for Sunday is still undetermined, the Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Analysis: Bradshaw's one of the toughest players in the league, so it wouldn't surprise us if he played, but the team is also thinking long term, so no decision has been made yet.

Ahmad Bradshaw: (Foot) Status Unclear

A source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Thursday that Bradshaw (foot) should be able to play against New England on Sunday.

Analysis: Schefter's report seems to be the lone indication of optimism regarding Bradshaw's cracked foot, so he remains no better than questionable for Sunday. This may be a situation that Bradshaw's owners will need to revisit when the weekend arrives.

Bradshaw's foot injury has been diagnosed as a "cracked bone" and he is out indefinitely, The Star-Ledger reports.

Analysis: The Star-Ledger also reports it is "unclear" how long Bradshaw will be out. Until he is able to return -- if he is able to return -- the Giants will be forced to go with Brandon Jacobs to carry the load. Jacbos is having an awful year, averaging only three yards per carry and compiling only three…read more
