With running backs Brandon Jacobs and Derrick Ward sidelined due to injury, the New York Giants suddenly found themselves in a hole. And while Reuben Droughns appears ready to step up and carry the load, the team still needed to find some depth behind him and rookie Ahmad Bradshaw.And yesterday, they did just that.
According to Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News, the Giants have signed former New England Patriots running back Patrick Pass.
Pass, who is known as a do-it-everything kind of player, spent the first seven seasons of his career with the Patriots before having a cup of coffee with the Houston Texans earlier this year. And while he's never carried the bulk of the load, he's proven the ability to get the job done when called upon.
He will replace linebacker Mathias Kiwanuka on the Giants who roster, who recently became the 10th player to find themselves on the season-ending injured reserve list.
