Bradshaw To Miss OTAs, Eyes Training Camp

Sep 18, 2014 5:42 PM

Ahmad Bradshaw says his fractured foot is feeling much better but he still expects to miss all organized team activities and minicamp as he recovers from an injection in his right foot. The Giants running back had bone marrow taken from his hip and injected into the troublesome foot to help the bone heal quicker. "I feel great," Bradshaw said. "I got the injection in February. I feel tremendous after a month. Right now I have a lot of confidence that I will be able to just be a pound-for-pound back and just hold my own. "I probably can (run now) but I am not going to try for two or three months more," he added. "I just want to rest as much as I can. By the time training camp comes, I want to practice every week and start the season off right."
