    The New York Giants need "Making the Leap" candidate David Wilson to carry the load following veteran running back Andre Brown's leg fracture sustained in Thursday's preseason finale.

    Brown is expected to miss four to six weeks, according to multiple reports.

    At that timetable, the earliest he would return is Week 3. More realistically, it will be mid-October before he's back in football shape and ready for game action. Should the Giants opt to place Brown on the short-term injured reserve list, he wouldn't be eligible to return until after Week 8.
