Andrea Brown suffered a broken leg against the Packers on Sunday night. The veteran back has been very productive this season and now the Giants will have to rely on rookie David Wilson to help carry the load with Ahmad Bradshaw. Wilson has had ball security and blocking issues that have kept him off the field.
