Without Wilson, the 0-5 Giants are going with the combination of Brandon Jacobs and recently re-signed Da'Rel Scott in their backfield. Given that they have a bye coming up in Week 9, it's likely the earliest Wilson will return to action is Week 10. That's also when their original No. 2 back to start 2013, Andre Brown, is due to come back from his leg injury.
Wilson's season started with him quickly landing back in coach Tom Coughlin's unofficial doghouse with his fumbling problems in the Week 1 loss at Dallas. In recent weeks, however, Wilson has shown more life, and just scored his first touchdown of the season in the Week 5 loss to Philadelphia before getting hurt.
There were once big plans for Wilson, but now just like the rest of the Giants, '13 is looking more like an unlucky lost cause.
