Wayne Gallman was inactive in the Giants’ first three games of the season. He’s also been a non-factor in the offense during practices. All of his work since the end of the preseason had come on the scout team.
Until Wednesday, that is.
That’s when Orleans Darkwa missed practice with a back injury and Shane Vereen, who started in the practice, did not complete it with what appeared to be a calf injury suffered early in the workout. With two of the three main running backs sidelined, it was time for Gallman to play.
“I got all of the team reps,” he said, noting that the Giants also gave starter Paul Perkins a bit of a rest.
