Hakeem Nicks Ankle Injury (1 Viewer)

[Soxwhat]

News: Giants WR Hakeem Nicks suffered an ankle injury in Sunday's win over the Panthers and his status for practice this week is up in the air.

It wasn't obvious on Sunday, but will have to keep an eye on him this week and see what develops.

 

[Dr. No]

dang... he was on pace for 48 TD's this season.

I'll temper my expectations to 30 TD's.

Does he have a history of being one of those guys that hates practice but always shows up on game day Iverson style?

 

[Jazzman]

I'm not worried. No way this guy misses game time as it stands.

 

[identikit]

Nicks played through injury most of last season, and played well.

I'm betting he plays Sunday night.

No biggie....he hurt it BEFORE he scored the 3 TD's. Don't look to much into this.

Hakeem Nicks, Osi Umenyoria appear on Giants' injury report http://bit.ly/aQ6nsn

Nicks + Osi expected back tomorrow. Osi's knee the "same issue" according to TC, meaning lingering stuff from his '08 surgery. #nyg

so if he'd be healthy, it stands to reason he could've gotten 4.. maybe 5.Dang!

Giants | Hakeem Nicks misses practice Wednesday

New York Giants WR Hakeem Nicks (ankle) did not participate in practice Tuesday, Sept. 15, after injuring his ankle in Week 1, reports Ohm Youngmisuk, of ESPNNewYork.com.

Keeping a close eye on practice this week for Nicks

 

[Stompin' Tom Connors]

Last year, Manningham caught on fire then suffered a lingering injury that set him back compared to Smith and Nicks.

This is nothing to worry about yet -- good move for the Giants to keep this budding star rested and healthy -- but ankle injuries can be tricky and ongoing for a WR. Def. worth monitoring.

Missing practice is no big deal when you are trying to rest an ankle.

 

[T with T]

agree he is listed as probable and they said he played thru the inj so it must have occurred early in the game. If he can score 3 tds on a bum ankle I wonder what he could do 100 percent... He should be fine

 

[scrumptrulescent]

The ankle shouldn't bother him since all he needs to do is run, really fast, in a straight line and catch the ball when it gets to him.

4 catches, 209 yards, 4 td's, 0 cuts on the day

 

[shakaka]

Careful guys, you are getting dangerously close to committing heresy against the almighty Jermichael Finley. Only He can put up numbers like this, the only reason He didn't this week is because He didn't want to. Don't forget that.

 

[T with T]

lol ok man ... only nicks can put up hattricks... finley wont catch 3 tds in one game ever mark it

 

[skillz]

Sounds like he'll be okay. Hopefully he plays. Since he's got a Sunday night game most WR's will have played by the time the NY/Indy game kicks off.

He can't be listed as probable at the moment because the official game designations don't come out until after Friday practice. So if some place is listing him as probable for Week 2, that's complete speculation and no more than a guess at this point.

Okay good now he's back to his usual 48 TD projection for the year.

 

[That Little Voice]

I think he's OK. He might have just gotten a little Nicked up.
