David Wilson's emergence couldn’t have come at a better time for the Giants, because they might need him even more the next few weeks.

How much more depends on Ahmad Bradshaw’s left knee, which he injured in the first half of the Giants’ 52-27 win over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.

Bradshaw returned to the game, but Wilson took over as the feature back. And on Monday, Bradshaw was undergoing an MRI and other tests to determine if there was any significant damage.

“Anytime you’re talking about a knee and you’re going through a series of tests, you’re better off to wait and see what the results are,” Tom Coughlin said on Monday. “I wouldn’t speculate on anything right now.”

Giants WR Hakeem Nicks confirmed he underwent an X-ray after the game.

“Yeah, I did, everything was good,” said Nicks, who declined to specify whether it was specifically the knee that was examined.

“I came through physically OK,” Nicks said. “I think I might have came down a little bit on my knee but I’m so used to doing it, it goes away in about a play or two.”

Falcons moving to more of a RBBC
Wednesday, November 28, 2012, 12:33pm

Falcons RB Jacquizz Rodgers played 31 offensive snaps against the Buccaneers compared to Michael Turner’s 23. With the exception of Atlanta’s lopsided victory at San Diego, when Rodgers got extra playing time with the game in hand, it was the first time this season Turner didn’t get the most snaps among the running backs.

“We feel like Jacquizz is a very viable option to carry the football and has done a nice job for us,” Falcons coach Mike Smith said. “It has become more of the vogue thing to do, to have a ‘running back by committee.’”
