Giants Take Wait-and-See Approach After Brown’s Injury

Giants running back Andre Brown broke his leg Thursday. David Wilson may now be counted on to do more.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The Giants have lost so many starting players during the preseason that after another key contributor went down Thursday night, it did not discernibly rattle the mood inside the team’s locker room the next day.

The Giants were disheartened by the left leg fracture that running back Andre Brown sustained in a loss to the New England Patriots on Thursday. But on Friday, the focus quickly turned to who could replace him and who among those previously injured might return in time to face the Dallas Cowboys in the season opener Sept. 8.

“Yeah, obviously when you lose a running back, a guy who’s going to play a decent amount, it’s tough,” Eli Manning said. “But we’ve got a couple other backs that have been in the system for a little while.”
