Hakeem Nicks had surgery on his broken foot just 4 days ago, but he is telling Head Coach Tom Coughlin that he is already pain free. Nicks was given an initial recovery of 12 weeks, which would him make questionable at best for week 1, but other reports have put his recovery at 4-6 weeks and there’s still some uncertainty with the time frame.

If he is, in fact, pain free already, it’s definitely a sign that it could end up being closer to 4-6 weeks. For what it’s worth ESPN’s Sal Paolantonio believes it’s overly optimistic that he’ll be back by Training Camp in July. My money would still be on him playing week 1, even if he does miss most of Training Camp and the Preseason.
