According to Mike Garafolo of the Newark Star Ledger WR Hakeem Nicks does not have an injury to his Lisfranc joint. Giant fans know they Lisfranc injury well as it forced Justin Tuck and Michael Strahan to miss significant time in the past. Nicks is most likely out 2-3 weeks.
It was clear from yesterdays game that Nicks was going to be apart of the offensive schemes. It was also clear that he is ready for these duties. Eli had Nicks flash on a deep post but was unable to make the throw as he was being hit. Nicks was wide open on a crossing pattern as well, and although Eli under threw the pass Nicks still should have made the catch. He ended up with 2 catches for 19 yards, but the key was he was already on the field and apart of the scheme, already a good sign for a rookie wideout.
Eli Manning showed his grit and determination to continue to make big passing plays without the use of WR Hakeem Nicks. He enlisted second-tier receivers Domenik Hixon and Derek Hagan, and will hope the Giants can continue to rely on them in their next game, should Hakeem Nicks’ injury keep him sidelined.
