New York Giants coach Tom Coughlin has revealed that he is ready to hand running back Andre Williams a bigger role with Rashad Jennings ruled out for at least a few weeks.

Jennings suffered an MCL sprain which in turn means that Williams will have an opportunity to add to his 20 carries for 65 yards and a touchdown.

Odell Beckham also impressed on his debut after he caught four passes for 44 yards and a jump-ball touchdown while guard Weston Richburg received praise for his performance.

"I am very confident [in Williams taking a bigger role]," Coughlin told reporters.

"When you have a young guy, you really get into great, great detail even more about pass protection. He has done a good job when he has been in there. He is going to have to do even better."

Williams also dismissed suggestions that he was a poor receiver after catching both of his passes in the win over the Atlanta Falcons.
