Giants RB Da'Rel Scott rushed twice for 11 yards in Sunday's loss to the Eagles, adding one catch for nine yards. Scott was pressed into action after D.J. Ware suffered a concussion on the final play of the first half. Ahmad Bradshaw is tentatively expected to return in Week 12, but Scott is worth keeping an eye on if both Bradshaw and Ware end up sitting out against the Saints.

Giants running backs coach Jerald Ingram said he envisions rookie Da'Rel Scott as the team's eventual third-down back. Scott has world-class speed and is a good receiver out of the backfield, but the Giants are wary of his ability to pick up the blitz. The seventh-round pick was also extremely injury prone at Maryland. Scott is more of a project than prospect at this point.

Giants seventh-round RB Da'Rel Scott tallied 114 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries against the Patriots in the preseason finale. The fastest back at this year's Combine broke off a 65-yard TD one week after taking a carry 97 yards to the house. He entered the game in a competition with Andre Brown, who boasted a strong camp, for the final running back spot. The Giants will have to keep Scott because there's no way he makes it through waivers after exploding for 183 yards and two TDs on 14 preseason carries (13.1 YPC).
