Fri, 25 May 2012 10:23:10 -0700 Updating previous reports, New York Giants WR Hakeem Nicks (foot) is likely to be out only four to six weeks after fracturing a bone in his foot, and he could very well play in the season opener against the Dallas Cowboys. Comment (0) | Share: Giants | Hakeem Nicks’ Week 1 availability in question Thu, 24 May 2012 16:32:36 -0700 New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin said WR Hakeem Nicks' (foot) availability for Week 1 could be in question because the estimated recovery time from his fractured foot is close to the start of the regular season. Nicks express confidence that his foot will heal faster than the estimation and doctors have told Coughlin the injury will heal well. Comment (0) | Share: Giants | Brian Witherspoon waived/injured Thu, 24 May 2012 12:49:01 -0700 The New York Giants waived/injured CB Brian Witherspoon (knee) after he tore his anterior cruciate ligament during organized team activities Wednesday, May 24. In a corresponding move, the team has signed free-agent CB Dante Hughes (Chargers). Terms of the contract were not disclosed. Comment (0) | Share:
Thu, 24 May 2012 12:43:55 -0700 New York Giants WR Hakeem Nicks (foot) fractured the fifth metatarsal of his right foot during organized team activities Thursday, May 24, and is expected to miss around 12 weeks. He is scheduled to undergo surgery Friday, May 24, to repair the fracture. Fantasy Tip: Nicks will miss most of the offseason and probably some of the early preseason, but he should be close to 100 percent for Week 1. He has chemistry with Eli Manning, so the time off probably won't affect the duo much, if at all. Conditioning in the early season could be a problem; Nicks may be limited for the first few games of the year. Barring a setback, he should be selected as a strong No. 2 fantasy receiver that has No. 1 potential. You will want to build quality depth at the position to cover your bases. The injury could cause Nicks to slide into a position of great draft value. Comment (0) | Share: Giants | To visit White House next month Thu, 24 May 2012 08:18:25 -0700 The New York Giants will visit the White House and President Barack Obama June 8.
