Why wouldn't he ? The Giants have tough matchups weeks 15 and 16 (phil and GB) and will have to throw to keep up. I see Nicks having nice weeks those weeks. I am glad I have a BYE next week so I can monitor him.Me too.I don't really think he'll do much when back anyway.
why do people keep saying this? there is no further reinjury risk. they caught the problem.
Then how come he didn't just play in the next game then? Reinjury may be the wrong word but what he means is basically closer to 100 percent and shake off any rust that may have settled in the time off.
Yes, more time off will help him shake off the rust.
He hasn't been practicing while he's been out unlike someone like Vincent Jackson who was out due to suspension. I'm sure most people besides Alan Iverson can use practice for game time.
Why take the risk? If you're that loaded to have TO has your WR3, why take the risk of someone possibly walking out there and finding out he can't go and you're up a creek.I seriously doubt there's any news I can hear from Hakeem Nicks that would make me feel confident enough to bench TO for him.If I bench a guy, it's guys like Hines Ward or a plethera of guys like that who are only so productive anyway.
yeah, what's the big deal? it's not like he severly injured himself and then the Compartment Syndrome set in - sounds like he got hit, they diagnosed the syndrome early and now he's basically got stitches. As long as he can run, get hit, etc... without any danger of of the wound opening again and getting infected, he'll be out there - a little tape does wonders. I would not be surprised at all to see him on the field and performing at a high level in week 14 - it sounds like he'll push the team to let him play.
cause people esp on these forums googled compartment leg syndrome saw the disgusting pictures.....and read all those personal accounts of people who said they had it too and there was no way he'd be back
Fair point, but remember that was with a healthy Steve Smith. Smith is going to be limited too, if he plays at all. Also, I read on rotoworld today that Eli was "frustrated" with the way Manningham has been playing, so if Nicks is healthy enough to play he should have the opportunity to produce.
Theres another Roto note saying Steve Smith is likely to play.
Mike Garafolo@MikeGarafolo Mike GarafoloI'll keep it coming for ya: WR Hakeem Nicks (leg) said he took 3-4 snaps per offensive period. No pain or complications. #nyg1 hour ago via ÜberTwitter Favorite Retweet Reply MikeGarafolo Mike GarafoloNicks will have a better idea of whether he'll be playing after he sees the doc today. Full details on him + Smith in blog in a few. #nyg58 minutes ago Favorite Retweet Reply
No dilemma for me, if Nicks plays then he's in my line-up. Maybe some teams have better options but he's been a stud all year and now that it's win or go home time I'm rolling him out there!
If he plays, I will definately be watching him run his routes this weekend, how he walks back to the huddle, the little things. It's hard to believe he'll be 100 percent after 2 weeks when the news was released you had people on here saying they were going to drop him, crazy.
I like yours better than mine.
who cares. He is practicing and based on past simialr injuries to Nfl players (urlacher & Jason Taylor) 2 games missed seems to be the norm
I sure hope that's the case. Like most in this thread, I could certainly use him come week 15 and I'd like to see how he looks for a week prior to having to "plug-n-play" him for the postseason.That said, even if he doesn't play week 14, if he's out there come week 15 he's in my lineup.
If I were in it, sure I would want him to rest, but he is such a difference maker this year, then even at 75%, he is better than most other options if you have to make it this year.
This is enough for me to put him in my lineup! As has already been said, they need this game!Lets do this Hakeem.
why is kaplan doing this? His thoughts aren't in line with anything that is happening on the practice field. Strange, I didn't know some random fox reporter could declare a player Out.
Pretty clear that Kaplan is playing the Nicks owner in his league this week.
