New York Giants' news and notes: Hakeem Nicks getting healthy, and more

Good morning, New York Giants' fans. Here is your Thursday morning notebook.

Hakeem Nicks is feeling better than he has since Week 2 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, when he caught 10 passes for 199 yards. [Full transcript]

Q: How much healthier are you?
A: I'm a lot healthier now, especially over the last couple of weeks. I finally feel like I finally got over the little hump. The last game, I feel like it broke me in a little bit more. First it was the foot and then the knee, today was a great practice for me. I feel like I got back to myself a little bit. I feel like I'm getting in and out of my routes and having that full confidence back, so I think it will be great week for me.

Q: Is this the first time since the knee that you felt that way?
A: Yeah. The first time since the knee because I broke the foot and then after the first game, then had that huge week the second week. Then the knee limited me since then, so I feel like my body is feeling good again. I feel like I can give it a great go.
