Hakeem Nicks out indefinitely

[gruntbusters]

Hakeem Nicks has been diagnosed with compartment syndrome in his lower left leg, and the Giants expect him to miss the next three weeks.
Compartment syndrome of the lower leg affects muscle circulation, and can lead to muscle or nerve damage if not treated cautiously. The Giants' passing attack can expect a major step back, as No. 2 receiver Steve Smith (pectoral) has already been ruled out for the rest of the month and Ramses Barden is on I.R. Mario Manningham will be counted on heavily. It sounds like the G-Men are hopeful that Nicks could return in Week 15, but that's no guarantee. We'd try to hang onto Nicks in fantasy leagues if possible.

Read about this syndrome. It sounds pretty serious, but I wouldnt catagorize it as career threatening.

I wouldnt be shocked if he ends up on IR.

Damn is right. Last hope in Hired Guns is gone now.

Yeah, this is a huge blow to my teams...huge. Only giant WR on the wire is Derek Hagan and I'm not a fan.

Wish him well. Kid has the skills to be a great one if the injury bug doesn't keep stinging him..............:shake:

Wow. The fantasy gods hate me! But oh well. Fantasy is fantasy. Real life, I hope he can recover from this. He was looking so good this season.
