Hakeem Nicks admits that playing through knee injury took its toll

Posted Jan 2, 2013
When Hakeem Nicks slammed his left knee to the Meadowlands turf late in the Giants’ Week 2 victory against Tampa Bay, he was sure it was only “something minor.” It turns out it wasn’t minor at all. Two weeks later, before the Giants’ Week 4 game in Philadelphia, Nicks had an MRI that showed “something” was torn. The doctors at that time told the receiver he’d need 6-8 weeks of rest.
