New York Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw has a broken bone in his right foot. (Source New York Times).

Take: Bradshaw had a screw put in the same foot after breaking a bone during the 2009 season. Bradshaw was productive that season despite the stress fracture he suffered, rushing for 323 yards on 83 carries in his final eight games. The Giants have not officially ruled Bradshaw out, and we may not know until a few minutes before game time. If Bradshaw is out Sunday against the Patriots, Brandon Jacobs and D.J. Ware are expected to see an increase in touches. That doesn't mean they are start worthy though, as Jacobs has struggled in limited action the last three weeks and the Patriots are a top 10 pass rushing defense. Bradshaw's potential absence should bump up the value of the Giants' top three wide receivers, Hakeem Nicks, Mario Manningham, and Victor Cruz.
