Excerpt: "It's workout Tuesday across the NFL, and although most workouts are private, Conor Orr of The Star-Ledger has word that the New York Giants will workout a number of players today, including former Chicago Bears running back Kahlil Bell.

Bell went undrafted out of UCLA in 2009, but was signed to the Minnesota Vikings practice squad where he spent three months. Shortly after being released, he was signed as a free agent by the Chicago Bears to their practice squad and eventually activated to their 53-man roster. In 22 career games with the Bears, Bell rushed for 589 yards on 131 carries (4.5 ypc). He also hauled in 21 receptions for 148 yards and a touchdown." Read more...

uhh... do the Giants really have zero faith in Wilson that we're going to work out a UDFA that got cut by the Bears and Vikings?

[RoanokeFan]

Sounds like due diligence in case Bradshaw's tests aren't favorable

How's his pass blocking?

That is the #1 criteria the coaches are concerned with in determining if a RUNNING back is useful

Not necessarily. I think they are just looking at players as they do all season long . BUT, Bradshaw is having tests conducted and they may think it best to see what insurance players are available.

I would think Brown and even Wilson would have a better understanding of the blocking assignments.

Based on his stat sheet, I'd say he was, at best, being considered for the # 3 RB if Bradshaw's tests suggest he go to IR
