RB Tyrone Wheatley
... will miss at least 2 weeks with a stress fracture to his right leg, according to Rodger Wyland. "This is too bad, because he had an exceptional camp. But, he's going on the shelf, and Dan Reeves must deal with another injury."
Coach Reeves said
... "We've been challenging him, and giving him an awful lot of playing time." And while he'd been performing well up to the injury, Reeves said it's a good thing they signed Rodney Hampton -- he can pick up the slack as a running back.
The New York Giants
