Giants TE Jake Ballard (microfracture, ACL surgery) concedes his best chance to return in 2012 is by mid-season, "if at all."
Ballard will start training camp as well as the regular season on the PUP list. Having signed Martellus Bennett to a one-year contract, the Giants aren't going to count on a contribution from Ballard until the 2013 season.

Giants TE Jake Ballard underwent microfracture knee surgery in addition to the standard ACL procedure early this offseason.
Ballard felt like he "ripped everything and broke everything" when he went down in the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl. The damaged cartilage that required microfracture surgery likely occurred when Ballard went to test the knee on the sidelines after tearing his ACL. Ballard could be facing an additional six weeks on top of the 8-9 month timetable for reconstructive knee surgery. A lock to start the season on the PUP list, Ballard may sit out all 16 games. Odds are against the 2011 breakout starter recapturing pre-injury form in 2013 and beyond.

GM Jerry Reese concedes that TEs Jake Ballard (ACL tear) and Travis Beckum (ACL tear) will likely start the 2012 season on the PUP list.
The recovery timetable is typically eight months, pushing the two tight ends into at least October. Both players are scheduled to go under the knife on Tuesday, February 21. Although Reese thinks highly of practice squad TE Christian Hopkins, suggesting he could compete for "significant playing time," the position figures to be on the Giants' list of offseason priorities.

The Giants announced Tuesday that further testing revealed a torn left ACL for TE Jake Ballard.
Ballard attempted to return to the game, originally believing the injury to be a mere sprain. Travis Beckum also sustained a torn ACL, leaving tight end as a position of need entering the offseason. The recovery timetable is typically eight months, which means the PUP list is a possibility. An exclusive rights free agent, Ballard had solidified the position as a Kevin Boss clone before the late-season knee woes.

Andre Brown
Suspended
NFL suspended Giants RB Andre Brown four games for violating the league's policy against performance enhancers.
Running back increasingly is becoming a major need area for the G-Men. Brown, 25, was set to make a hard push for a roster spot after battling injuries his first three seasons in the league. For his career, Brown has only two rushes in four appearances. The Giants may look early in the draft for a running back, perhaps eyeballing Boise State's Doug Martin at No. 32.

Hakeem Nicks
Sidelined
Hakeem Nicks will be sidelined for approximately 12 weeks after fracturing the fifth metatarsal in his right foot on Thursday.
The non-contact injury occurred while Nicks was running a route tree in morning practice. He will undergo surgery Friday to have a screw inserted for stabilization. The timetable provided by the Giants would have Nicks out until the middle of training camp, and perhaps until a couple of weeks before the season opener. This is the latest in a string of lower-leg injuries for Nicks, who has dealt with multiple issues to his toe, foot, ankle, and knee since joining the Giants in 2009. As long as he's on course over the next couple of months, Nicks will remain a high-risk, high-reward fantasy selection as a top-12 receiver.

Sidelined
Giants WR Dan DePalma is recovering from offseason hip surgery.
There are no details on the procedure. An undersized (5-11/195) receiver from D-II West Chester (Pa.) University, DePalma played the role of Wes Welker as a practice squad player last year. Although Giants defenders tabbed DePalma as one of the toughest to cover, he remains a long-shot for the 53-man roster.

Travis Beckum
Sidelined
According to the New York Daily News, there's a "pretty good chance" Giants TE Travis Beckum (torn ACL) will be ready for the start of the regular season.
"If everything works out, yeah," Beckum said. Beckum is still only two months removed from surgery, so color us skeptical. Even with Jake Ballard (torn ACL) in danger of missing the entire year, the G-Men have little incentive to rush Beckum back after signing Martellus Bennett and drafting Adrien Robinson. Beckum remains a strong candidate for the PUP list.
