"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Giants running back Andre Brown will reportedly miss four to six weeks. (Jim McIsaac/Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;New York Giants backup running back Andre Brown, who broke his left leg Thursday night in the fourth preseason game against the Patriots, is only expected to miss four to six weeks, Pro Football Talk reports. \u00A0&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Brown felt what he called a \"little crack\" in his leg \u2014 which he also broke last season \u2014 but won't need surgery.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The three-year pro rushed for 385 yards and eight touchdowns on 73 carries before suffering the injury in late November against the Packers. He did not return.\nShould the Giants choose to use the injured reserve/designated to return tag on Brown, he'd be eligible to come back after the eighth week (New York has a bye in Week 9). Second-year pro David Wilson will enter the season as the starter, with former Redskin Ryan Torain and Da'Rel Scott providing depth.&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
