When Hakeem Nicks broke a bone in his foot yesterday, he was given an initial recovery of around 3 months, which would, as Tom Coughlin said, put him in a race for their week 1 game, especially since the Giants start 4 days earlier than everyone else, on Thursday Wednesday Night Football. However, a day later, the prognosis doesn’t look as bleak.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, some people with knowledge of the situation think it could be closer to a 4-6 week recovery and that the Giants aren’t too worried about his week 1 availability. Still, the only statement made by the Giants themselves was one of uncertainty for week 1, though, of course, this was yesterday. We’ll probably know more after he has surgery this Friday. It’ll definitely be a situation to monitor because, if healthy and reliable, he’s a surefire top-10 fantasy wide receiver and a huge part of the Giants’ offense.
