Hakeem Nicks Injury: Update on New York Giants Star's Hamstring Injury

The New York Giants have beaten the winless Miami Dolphins, but they may have lost one of their most dangerous weapons in Hakeem Nicks.

Nicks went out of the game late in the fourth quarter and did not return before the end of the game.

Injury Update

It is known that the injury is a hamstring, and the team was playing it safe leaving the wide receiver on the sidelines.

Thank goodness for the Dolphins offensive inconsistency because they weren’t able to force overtime and make the Giants put the injured receiver on the field.

When's He Ready to Return?

Nicks was ruled out for the rest of the game before the game was over, meaning that the injury was serious enough to warrant the rest of the game off.

There is no talk of the seriousness of this injury, but it’s something for New York Giants fans and organization to be concerned over.

Fantasy Impact

If this injury is long term, the Giants will look to Victor Cruz and Mario Manningham to pick up the slack. Also, expect more passes to the running backs and tight end Jake Ballard if Nicks is not playing next week.
