New York, NY

New York Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw sustained a fracture in his foot but will reportedly play against the New England Patriots Sunday.

Bradshaw, who covered 440 yards on 111 carries with 5 touchdowns, continued to participate in team practices despite nursing a fractured bone in his foot.

Giants coach Tom Coughlin said it has not been decided if Bradhsaw should undergo surgery, but it appears his top running back will remain playing through the pain.

In the past he's played with a crack, or whatever you want to call it, a stress crack in his foot, he has played that way in the past," Coughlin told ESPN Thursday. "I don't know what the determination will be just yet. We will just have to wait and see ... what the doctors decide to do."

Bradshaw suffered a broken bone in each foot in 2009 but still rolled up 778 yards in 15 games.

After offseason surgery, Bradshaw had a career year in 2010 with 1,235 rushing yards and eight touchdowns.

If Bradshaw is unavailable to play Sunday, running back Brandon Jacobs will be the likely starter against the Patriots.

Jacobs run for just 10 yards on four carries last Sunday, but promised to perform well Sunday against the Pats.

"You're going to see a change, man. You're going to see a change," Jacobs told ESPN
