Vereen rushed six times for 11 yards and caught two passes (on two targets) for 18 yards in Saturday's preseason game against the Jets.
Vereen tied starting running back Rashad Jennings in leading the Giants with six carries Saturday, but like Jennings, found very little room to run. As a whole, the Giants' starting offense failed to produce, but Vereen's eight total touches is at least encouraging. While Jennings should see most of the heavy lifting, Vereen represents a versatile alternative going into this season.
