New York Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw will return to practice this week and is expected to start on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles, coach Tom Coughlin said on Wednesday. Bradshaw missed last week's win over the Carolina Panthers because of a neck injury and was replaced by Andre Brown, who rushed for 113 yards and two touchdowns. However, Coughlin said Brown would still have a role in the offense.

This also cripples the fantasy value of rookie David Wilson, who has had limited touches in three weeks and is clearly behind Bradshaw and Brown.
