New York Giants RB Shane Vereen (calf) did not participate in practice Thursday, Sept. 28.

Footballguys View: Vereen really hasn’t done much in the backfield, but neither has anyone else. Orleans Darkwa looks like the leader of this rather uninspiring pack, and we wouldn’t look for anything more than RB4 numbers against Tampa Bay. This offensive line is that bad. So ultimately, Vereen isn’t missing much and neither is your lineup by not having access to him.
