Perkins (ribs) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Perkins was able to practice on a limited basis this week, but he hasn't yet recovered to the point where he'll be ready for game action. With Perkins able to get some work in this week and the Giants on bye in Week 8 though, it seems likely he could return for the team's subsequent contest Nov. 5 against the Rams. Orleans Darkwa is the favorite to serve as the Giants' top running back this week, but Week 6 was the first time all season he led the New York backfield in snaps. As such, Shane Vereen and Wayne Gallman could both still be involved in some fashion Sunday.
