EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The New York Giants activated running back Shane Vereen from the injured reserve list for Sunday nights matchup with the Dallas Cowboys at MetLife Stadium.Vereen has been sidelined since tearing his triceps in Week 3. He returned to practice last week, when he was designated for return from IR. The Giants had 21 days to activate him or his season would end.They released offensive lineman Adam Gettis to make room on the roster, even though left guard Justin Pugh will not return to the starting lineup on Sunday night, according to sources. The Giants were hopeful earlier in the week to have Pugh and Vereen back in time for this weeks game.Vereen is expected to be reinserted as the teams passing-down back. Vereen, Rashad Jennings and Paul Perkins should be in the mix.He has had a good, productive week so far, we just have to see if he is ready, coach Ben McAdoo said Friday.Vereen participated Thursday in his first padded practice since the surgery.He seemed to respond OK, McAdoo said.The hope is that Vereens return can provide a spark to the Giants sluggish offense. He brings a unique skill set with his ability to catch passes and operate as a receiver out of the backfield.The Giants have failed to top 300 yards of total offense in each of the past two games. Quarterback Eli Manning has thrown for less than 200 yards in both. They havent scored 30 points in a game this season.Vereen thinks he can help.Hopefully points, he said recently about what he can bring to the offense. I think that is going to help us down the line; consistency and points and being able to keep this thing going.I know offensively, being in all the meetings, we are definitely not where we want to be. But December is the most important time of the year, most important time of the season, and hopefully I can contribute.Vereen was an integral part of the offense last year when he caught a career-high 59 passes for 495 yards. Jennings leads the Giants running backs with 28 receptions this season, and isnt as dangerous a threat out of the backfield.

MADRID -- Rafael Nadal is cutting short his 2016 season so he can fully recover from a left wrist injury.The 14-time Grand Slam champion said Thursday he is still bothered by the injury that kept him out of action for more than two months this season and wants to treat it properly before coming back in 2017.Now it is time to rest and start preparing intensively (for) the 2017 season, the 30-year-old Spaniard said in a statement.Nadal said he will miss indoor tournaments in Basel, Switzerland, next week and Paris next month. He is also ruled out of the season-ending ATP Finals in London next month.Nadal said he forced his recovery to be able to play in the Rio de Janeiro Olympics and that caused him to be in pain in every tournament since then.Nadal has slipped to No. 6 in the rankings. He won back-to-back clay-court titles in Barcelona and Monte Carlo last spring but has not won any tournaments since then.The statement said the original injury healed properly but the pain in the wristt area kept bothering him and kept him from performing at 100 percent.ddddddddddddIt is no secret that I arrived to the Olympic Games short of preparation and not fully recovered, but the goal was to compete and win a medal for Spain, he said. This forced recovery has caused me pain since then and now I am forced to stop and start preparing the 2017 season.Nadal won the doubles gold medal in Rio. He lost in the singles semifinals and also in the third-place match.The injury had forced Nadal to withdraw from the French Open before the third round and skip Wimbledon altogether.I am very saddened for not being able to play next week in Basel since I have a great memory of the tournament and the final played against Roger Federer last year, he said. I wont be able to compete either in Paris-Bercy, where the crowds and the staff have always treated me so well. ' ' '
