Report: Ahmad Bradshaw with broken foot, out indefinitely
Thursday, November 3, 2011, 4:32pm

Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw suffered a cracked bone in his foot during Sunday's game against the Dolphins and is out indefinitely, according to someone informed of Bradshaw's health status.

The person, who requested anonymity because the Giants haven't provided full details on Bradshaw's injury, said the fifth-year veteran is mulling whether to have corrective surgery. Bradshaw has had similar issues with both feet and ankles in recent years and has undergone surgery to insert screws into his feet.

Bradshaw left the game against Miami to undergo X-rays on his foot and then returned after it was determined one of the screws was aggravating his foot. It was believed he had suffered no structural damage.

It's unclear at this point how long Bradshaw will be sidelined, though it's obvious the Giants are headed to New England with Brandon Jacobs set to carry the load. Jacobs has struggled this season and gained only 10 yards on four carries against Miami but vowed earlier this week to have a changed attitude that will result in his "scoring these touchdowns" moving forward.

Update: Giants beat writer Mike Garafalo on Twitter: "Brandon Jacobs' injury per @AdamSchefter on ESPN just now: sprained MCL. Will let you know in about an hour if he's practicing today."

Giants RB Brandon Jacobs sat out his second straight practice Thursday as he continued to nurse swelling in his left knee. His status for Sunday's game against the Seahawks has yet to be determined, but he is at least ready to test the knee.

"I feel pretty good," he said. "Just waiting for the time they unleash me and let me do a little running and stuff like that. But I feel good."

Jacobs said he hurt his knee in the third quarter of Sunday's win over the Cardinals in Arizona. He remained in the game, however, rushing for a 1-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter.

He has not practiced all week. He rested on Wednesday. Tom Coughlin said then that Jacobs was "scheduled" to practice Thursday. Instead, he was resigned to light jogging and biking during the portion of practice that is open to the media.

Jacobs has played all 16 regular-season games just twice in his career, and he has a history of knee problems. Just two seasons ago, he was laboring with a right knee condition that required surgery.

He wanted to work through practice Thursday, Coughlin said, but team trainers held him back. And Coughlin is unsure whether Jacobs will be ready Sunday.
