EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Shane Vereen’s return to the Giants was short-lived.
The third-down running back had missed nine games this season after tearing his triceps in Week 3. He reinjured the muscle in Sunday’s win over Detroit, just his second game back, and was placed on injured reserve again Tuesday.
The Giants also placed backup quarterback Ryan Nassib on I.R. with an elbow injury.
Coach Ben McAdoo said Monday he did not know if Vereen would require surgery again.
“It’s unfortunate,” the rookie coach said. “He worked his tail off to get back to where he was, and I am disappointed for Shane.
