Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw is expected to start on Sunday night in Philadelphia.

Bradshaw suffered a neck injury in Week Two and missed Week Three, but the New York Daily News reports that Bradshaw has been cleared to play Week Four.

The question now is whether having Bradshaw back in the starting lineup is an improvement for the Giants: Andre Brown has played so well in Bradshaw’s absence (33 carries for 184 yards and three touchdowns) that it’s not clear Bradshaw is actually the Giants’ best running back.

But while Brown may have earned a larger share of the workload going forward, from all indications Bradshaw will be on the field with the starting offense when the Giants take the field against the Eagles.
