Giants lose Andre Brown for the year

The primary goal of training camp and the preseason is (or at least should be) to emerge with as many players as possible not injured.

In New York, a key Giants rookie has suffered an injury, and he’s gone for the year.

Running back Andre Brown, a fourth-round pick in the 2009 draft, suffered a ruptured Achilles’ tendon during practice on Friday night.

“I don’t know how it happened,” coach Tom Coughlin said, via a spokesperson for the team (via the Newark Star-Ledger).  “Andre was running his route side by side with the
linebacker.”

Brown had been having a solid camp.  He was fourth on the depth chart behind Brandon Jacobs, Ahmad Bradshaw, and Danny Ware.

    How do you call a RB 4th on the depth chart “a key Giants rookie?” The Giants are deep at RB, its a shame he’s hurt but this is far from a key loss.
