No visits have been scheduled at this time and the team may not make any signing until Week 2, but the Giants are looking for help on the depth chart after losing Andre Brown to a fractured leg. Under the "designated to return" tag, Brown will be eligible to play in 2013, but he won't be allowed to practice for the first six weeks and is unable to come back until at least Week 9.
With Brown out for half of the season, David Wilson is expected to play every down. The team was planning to rotate Brown in on passing downs before losing him to injury. Michael Cox and Da'Rel Scott are the only other running backs on the depth chart.
