Giants running back Shane Vereen re-injured his triceps during Sunday’s win over the Lions, NorthJersey.com reported Monday.
Giants Coach Ben McAdoo confirmed the report and called Vereen’s injury “unfortunate.” McAdoo said it’s too early to know if the team will have to put Vereen back on the injured-reserve list.
Vereen has played in the team’s last two games after returning from the injured-reserve list. He first suffered a triceps injury in Week Three.
Generally used as the team’s third-down back, Vereen has 11 catches in five games this season and also has a rushing touchdown. Vereen caught four touchdown passes last season, his first with the Giants.
