Player Notes

November 20, 2007
The Giants may be without Brandon Jacobs (hamstring) in Week 12 and will almost certainly be without Derrick Ward (ankle, groin), so they'll need to turn to Reuben Droughns and rookie Ahmad Bradshaw. "He's a proven rusher in this league and we have great confidence in him," head coach Tom Coughlin tells the New York Post regarding Droughns. Bradshaw does not have a carry this year but has returned kicks. The Giants host the Vikings on Sunday.

Reuben Droughns is shocked that he's been asked to score three one-yard touchdowns this season. It is very surprising to me because I had trouble scoring back in the past in Cleveland and Denver, he tells the team's official web site. But it is fun. It is a challenge to me, especially when I have a guy like big Brandon Jacobs, who has done it in the past, on my back. If you want to keep that type of job, you have to continue to score.

Although Derrick Ward received the bulk of the workload against the Redskins on Sunday, it was Reuben Droughns who got the goal-line work, converting two one-yard touchdowns. He received just three carries on the day, picking up three yards. Although Droughns likely won't figure into the workload much once Brandon Jacobs returns, he could be a decent short-term option if he continues to get the goal-line work over the next couple of weeks.

The Giants are thin at fullback following Robert Douglas' knee injury and will begin to use Reuben Droughns in that spot. "We are going to work Reuben, who has done that before, you know, did it in Denver and of course (Michael) Matthews," head coach Tom Coughlin tells the team's official web site. "I would like to see Reuben this week at fullback."

The Giants acquired Reuben Droughns from the Browns on Friday in exchange for Tim Carter, according to ESPN.com. Droughns, who rushed for just 758 yards and four scores on 220 carries last year (3.4 YPC), will share carries with Brandon Jacobs in New York next year.

Coach Romeo Crennel is optimistic that Reuben Droughns will be back in Cleveland next year, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "I think he's shown in the last couple games that he can gain some yards and he can run the ball," said Crennel. "We expect him to do better. Is he the 1,200-yard runner that we had last year? No, but he's still the same type of back." Droughns compiled just 758 yards on 220 carries this year.
