PrintPat Hanlon, New York Giants vice president of communications, just tweeted the word that Hakeem Nicks is "fine."
Here is what he said.
Hakeem Nicks is fine. MRIed last night in Albany, this AM in NYC at HSS and examined by Dr. Russ Warren. Everything checked out A-OK.
Now we just need to know how much practice time he will miss.

phew! but...
hyperextensions generally take what, 3-4 weeks to come back from? there goes all of training camp
Not 3-4 weeks
I had a hyperextended knee last yr. It only takes a week to recover from give or take a couple days. I missed one game he will be fine.plus hes not on crutches so it must not be a bad one either or he wouldnt be able to put weight on it .

PHEW
Hopefully he’s ready for Week 1
There is no hope.... there is no future....there is only GRISSIONZ
The 2010 Mets- Hey, we may suck, but what did you expect?
I second that.

right
and given how much wr/qb connections are on the field, he wont be tip top until 3rd-4th week. MAYBE.. who knows, hanlon saying it checked out A-OK maymean its just a little bruise not a hyperextension
no biggie.
Nicks most likely will be fine, after all he was damn good even while being banged up as a rook and probably not practicing much.
Hagan seems to be the “star” of camp so far and of course it could give Barden a shot.
Thats was can happen from a hyperextension...
bruised/strained muscle or tendon from being hyperextended
Toney does what the douglas do. And no one can do what he does b/c doing it without being Toney Douglas just doesnt make it do what it do
hagen
will likley be a great special teams guy. Nicks could be all world. Mosley thinks he can do 1200 and 12 tds. no way anyone thinks hagan does that
Mike Garafolo says Nicks could be back to practice by tomorrow
There is no hope.... there is no future....there is only GRISSIONZ
The 2010 Mets- Hey, we may suck, but what did you expect?
moseley
is the best guy but will never be as close as the beat guys because he has 4 teams to follow. but he’s talented
Thank god

yea I saw this in another post a few minutes after my post
sorry i was a few minutes late on the info… I’d take him he would still be an upgrade over Sinorice and Hagan although I actually like Hagan
Bring him back.

Bring Back?
How about bring back Tyree and rid of Moss.

'Scuse me, excuse me, pardon me...
is what i’m saying as i step back off the ledge, along with a lot of you other guys.
Is it sad
That I checked the interwebs four different times looking for updates on this injury, with my heart in my throat each time?

No, not at all
This team hasn’t exactly had a lot of luck in regards to injuries the last two years

Ha, no!
I just came back from a shoot and immediately went online to see what happened and finally, could not think about it.

You and the rest of Giants nation. Hagan is this yrs Hixon, great on special teams( minus the returns) and efficient at receiver. I see him getting playing time early in a couple of blow out games. Barden will see the field inside the opponents 35 yrd. line. I see at least 4 td for Ramses.
maclin
he’s ok right? and desean? i feel like the first week of training camp is the most dangerous. and of course those stupid a$$ preseason games
Maclin’s status is pretty much exactly the same as Nicks. And Jackson was back out running today, although he didn’t participate in drills – He’s fine. (Knocking on wood) Good to see there haven’t been any major season-enders around the league yet.
Formerly Bye, Dawk :(
There have been a few
Hixon is big for us. Colon out in Pittsburgh made them sign Fatso Adams. Not a tone, but there is always a few.

I promise you nicks wont miss the opening game from this. Its a quick healer. And i do agree the 1st week id the most dangerous because players bodies are not in football shape yet.

i'm concerned
about him staying on the field though. 2nd year and he has had multiple injuries. hes a big boy, he should be sturdier
I was thinking the same thing
He had a lingering hamstring issue out of college, was banged up last year, and now hurt in his first practice. No reason to be overly alarmed, but def a little concerned. But really happy it wasnt more serious.
Whoa! What's up with that gust of wind?
Oh. It’s just you guys, exhaling.
(And somebody had pizza for lunch.)
I left my swagger in my other pants.
Every Giant
It seems like every Giant that is drafted(especially at wideout) has hammy or groin issues in the first yr.Moss,Manningham,even Steve Smith was hurt his rookie yr.Plus you go back to the likes of Tim Carter and jamar Taylor.Hes over the hammy ,he played through the toe injury and I might add it didnt seem to effect him lol and this injury can happen to anyone,all it is is planting the wrong way i would be willing to bet 75 percent of football players have had this injury at some point in there career.Im not worried about it what so ever.
whoever
was sayin that we should trade Manningham… a scare like this should put some sense back in ya.
Trading manningham
Who ever said they should trade Manningham just doesnt know enough about the game.
Manningham
Is a very good receiver but he doesn’t have the magic that Hakeem has. I think a he will be a special player in this league. If he can stay on the field and and in sync with Eli.
I know hes not Nicks
But Manningham is pretty darn good himself and is a key part to the Giants offense as well.Manningham is great at turning short passes into big gains or scores.If he solved the problem he had last yr with running his route to close to the sideline then teams need to watch for him as well.I also dont know to many number 3 corners or safeties in the league that can cover him.If the Giants running game gets back on track which if healthy i believe will happen this offense is going to be special with them wideouts.
Trading Manningham
How can we say trading Manningham would have been such an awful idea…if it never happened and we have nothing to compare and contrast.
and another thing….do we have to lose 2 WR’s to IR before it’s THAT bad an idea???
Hypothetically, what if we dealt MM and DJ Ware and Jon Goff to the Texans for D. Ryans….would that have been an awful move?
I’m not an advocate for trading MM for a ham sandwich….but I did bring it up in regards to finding a stud MIKE….and I stand behind it.
weapons for Eli >>>>>>>>>>>>> """stud MLB"""
seeing that they’ll most likely be fine with Bulluck and whoever mans that in the future. You don’t need a star MLB (see: Pierce)
but step back and look at the big picture
our offense was damn near great last year….our Defense was awful.
JR did a hell of a job to address the Defensive side of the ball, but prior to doing so, yes, i brought it up.
I just don’t see how a #3 WR > a stud starting MIKE….especially after the season we just had.
You don’t need a star MLB, you are right….but you don’t need a star #3 WR either…..
Star #3 >>>>>>>>>>> Star MLB
sorry, giving Eli weapons is #1.
The defense is fine with an “average” MLB. Actually, the defense can beat the best offense in the history of the NFL with an average MLB.
So this “stud MLB” is not nearly as important as that. The D would be fine without it.
Why on Earth
would the Texans make that deal? It’s kind of a moot point, football philosophies aside.

and when did Eli become Tony Romo....lol
we’re already “Eli friendly” enough around here.
plus, he’s got his weapons….they’re sitting on the bench remember? lmao
I'm joking around about the "weapons for Eli" argument....
like we got to make our offense “Eli Friendly”…like when Dallas got rid of TO.
I just think Eli is a big boy….he’s got plenty of weapons….mabye he would appreciate it if his Defense could keep opposing Offenses under 40 points so he doesn’t have to go out and throw for 350+ yards every week.
exactly
he’s got plenty of weapons. Since when do the Colts not replace someone when they go down? Do they ever trade their surplus of weapons?
LB’s are replaceable. WR’s, while also “replaceable”, if you have 3, potentially 4 guys who are starting caliber, you don’t trade them. Young talented WR are not a dime a dozen.
LB’s who can make tackles behind an elite DL are (see :Bulluck, Keith).
like i said agree to disagreed
but using the colts is a bad example b/c I don’t think our offenses our comparable….they throw the ball over 60% of the time….and they have one of the greatest QB to ever play the game….they’re trying to “out score” you.
wasn't trying to compare how prolific the O's are
its just that you don’t take away what makes you good.
Eli could choke for the rest of his career
and never be known to be a choke artist because of this one moment in his career

i still think
we’re just seeing the tip of the iceberg with both of them, Nicks and Manningham.
In an ideal world they both progress and start as the wides moving Smith back to the slot where, i believe he is best suited.
that's fine. and I agree with you.....
but before Fewell, Rolle, Grant, JPP, Joseph (all our new Defensive acquisitions)
Would that have helped our defense? the fact that MM is on the tip of the iceberg?
Like I said, JR did a gread job of addressing the Defense so i’ve backed off that stance….and like i said above, i think we can win w/ an average MIKE….but as long as we have a lot ot talent surrounding him (up front, and behind)…..which IMO we do now.
It was dumb then and still is sorry
Its just not smart seriously.Freebradshaw is right look at Pierce.He was undersized,no speed and he succeeded.Why would you trade away a really big piece of your offense for a player you dont even know can play a mike in a 4-3?
ok....question than
D. Ryans straight up for Manningham
you would not do that?
Yes, it’s asinine b/c that would never happen, but if my idea is that dumb, than this question should be a no brainer for you.
still no
I cant mover a player i know about for a player i dont know can handle a job or not.And im not saying Ryans cant handle it but if he couldnt which is possible some players just dont transition well.Also Flynner i agree they still will get better butttttttttt how can you say the guy who broke the team record for catches and yards in his first season be suited to another spot?
than we too will agree to disagree
b/c I would take that deal and run all the way to the bank…..it’s not even close IMO.
yes, I’ll take away one of Eli’s weapons….that’s the price you pay.
take away manningham and
You take away one of the weapons that helps win games.If you trade who replaces him?Barden only in the redzone and Hixon is out.
i guess so then
I just cant do it and do not agree whats so ever with it.We have enough players around the mlb spot to play defense and make him look better.With a healthy line to take on blocks any mlb can make plays.
there's nothing wrong with that
you know what i’m saying? It would not be fun if everyone shared the same ideas on this site….
I’m someone who values Defense very much…probably more than Offense. My favorite positions are always the ones on Defense; CB, DE, S….so i will say this, my opinions are skewed
I don't mean to, but lately I have been
but it’s good though…it’s good….its healthy….LOL. Not to mention it’s all in good fun.
