Filed under: NFL Injury ReportUpdate: Hakeem Nicks is ACTIVE for the Giants' Sunday night game.
Giants wide receiver Hakeem Nicks said he expects to play in Sunday night's showdown with the Colts, according to New York Daily News beat writer Ralph Vacchiano.
While he was limited at practice Friday, Nicks said he wasn't restricted by his mild ankle sprain. "Early in the week it was bothering me when I'd go to the right a little bit," Nicks told the Daily News. "But now I'm going every direction fine."
According to recent reports out of New York, Nicks appeared healthy and it's possible that he was held out of a big chunk of Friday's practice as a precautionary measure by the Giants. Nicks did travel to Indianapolis with the team, Vacchiano said, so that's an encouraging sign.
Still, it's always good to have a backup plan heading into these Sunday night nail-biters, and in this instance that backup plan is Mario Manningham, who would start if Nicks is unable to play as expected.
