New Giants running back Buck Allen is obviously glad to be back in the NFL.
“It’s a blessing, we have great talented guys here,” Allen said. “You don’t miss anything until it’s gone, and I missed it. It’s a blessing to be on this team, I am here to do whatever they need me to do. If that’s running, catching, hitting, whatever it is, I’m here to do it.”
“We’re glad he’s here,” Shurmur said. “He was available, we worked him out and we’ll get him going as quickly as possible.”
The Giants announced Monday that Jon Hilliman, whom Allen replaced on the 53-man roster, has re-joined the team’s practice squad.
