Vereen (triceps) has officially been activated to the Giants' active roster from injured reserve, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

As originally expected, the Giants will have their versatile backfield option in Vereen for Sunday's game against the Cowboys. Although Rashad Jennings and Paul Perkins may see a majority of the team's carries at this point, Vereen could be productive in PPR formats, especially if the Giants get down early and are forced to throw often.

Vereen (triceps) is expected to be activated from injured reserve Saturday and therefore available for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Art Stapleton of the Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vereen will need to avoid any setbacks during Saturday's practice obviously, but all signs point to the versatile running back returning to the Giants' active roster after spending a majority of the 2016 regular season on IR. Another update should become available upon his official activation.

Coach Ben McAdoo expects to know more Saturday about Vereen's (triceps) availability for this weekend's game against the Cowboys.

EDGE Analysis

Vereen, who has been on injured reserve since Week 3, practiced all week and stands a chance of being promoted to New York's active roster for Sunday night's contest. However, that decision will have to be made by 4:00 ET on Saturday, so his Week 14 status will be determined before long. If Vereen is brought back into the fold, Rashad Jennings and Paul Perkins would face stiff competition for snaps in passing situations.

Vereen (triceps) said Thursday he's been practicing without limitations this week, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The team's assessment may differ from that of Vereen, but his confidence is certainly an encouraging sign that he's closing in on a return. With two weeks remaining to activate Vereen from injured reserve, the Giants can delay making a decision due to the healthy nature of the current backfield. If he's made available Sunday against the Cowboys, a pass-catching role behind Rashad Jennings and Paul Perkins would likely be bestowed upon Vereen.

Giants coach Ben McAdoo wouldn't confirm whether or not Vereen (triceps) will be activated to New York's 53-man roster this week, ESPN's Jordan Raanan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vereen was deemed the Giants' designated player to return from injured reserve last Wednesday, which put a 21-day timetable for him to be activated in effect. Although Vereen has been participating in practices since then, it's still unclear when he can be expected to return to game action. Whenever he's made available for the first time since Week 3, Vereen is anticipated to add versatility to New York's backfield options.

The Giants designated Vereen (triceps) for return Wednesday, opening his 21-day window for activation to the 53-man roster, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

In his first official practice since injuring his triceps in Week 3, Vereen "caught some balls," according to head coach Ben McAdoo. With the window for a return ajar, Vereen will have to prove to the medical and training staffs that his recovery remains on track over the next few weeks. Assuming status quo reigns (which is never a guarantee in the NFL) and he receives the go-ahead, he would likely take on a pass-catching role as a complement to No. 1 RB Rashad Jennings as the Giants make their playoff push.

Vereen (triceps) returned to practice Wednesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Giants signaled their intentions Tuesday with the placement of running back Orleans Darkwa (lower leg) on injured reserve, but Vereen has now taken the first step toward his first game action since Week 3. It's unclear when exactly Vereen will be given the all-clear by the training staff. Having said that, he's on pace to be back in the backfield mix before season's end.

Vereen (triceps) could return to practice this week, ESPN's Jordan Raanan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vereen was placed on injured reserve after tearing his triceps in Week 3, but after having surgery and clearing the two-month recovery timetable associated with the procedure, he's now edging closer to a return to practice. Whether that happens or not this week remains to be seen, but it appears Vereen has a decent chance of returning during the regular season, which would represent a nice boost to the Giants' backfield options.

Vereen underwent surgery on his torn triceps Wednesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Initially, Vereen's return timetable was believed to be two months, but Raanan relayed that the running back likely won't achieve full health until late December. In the event the Giants are in playoff contention at that point, they could (and very likely will) activate Vereen from the Reserve/Injured list. Upon his potential return, his role could include anything from No. 1 RB to third-down pass-catching back, depending on the health of Rashad Jennings (thumb) and company.

Vereen (triceps) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Vereen can officially be ruled out for the next eight weeks, ineligible to return until late November. He's a strong candidate to be New York's one player to return from injured reserve, as the team's other players on the list were merely depth pieces prior to suffering their injuries. Granted, there's no assurance Vereen will be ready by the end of the season, as he's set to undergo surgery to repair a torn triceps. The recovery timetable is estimated at two months, but other players have missed entire seasons with the same injury. If Rashad Jennings (thumb) misses more time, Orleans Darkwa will likely be the new starter, with Paul Perkins and Bobby Rainey potentially also involved.
