My guess is that Nicks is probably going to be dealing with some soreness/tightness after not really going full tilt consistently for so long. I doubt this is any sort of big deal. But we'll see.
the football gods bestowed upon us a generous gift when Cruz was signed as a FA back in 2010. What a fucking steal this guy was. And now he's a steal all over again with the contract he signed. Some stars are a bit over hyped with their on the field and off the field persona but not Cruz. So glad he's here for 6 more years. Just a great ambassador and an even better player.
This is why you have like 8 safeties going into camp
You don't just have a guy do nothing throughout August and expect him to be able to play in games in September. Conditioning and reps are extremely important.
If you really want Nicks to end up on IR, following your plan would be a great way to do it.
Nicks needs practice reps to not only get into a rhythm with Eli but also to get his body into football shape. If he sits out all training camp then goes all out week one then he has a very high chance of pulling or tearing his hamstring, groin etc.
...a guy easing from multiple leg injuries has some tightness in another area of his lower body early on in camp on a very warm, humid day. Absolutely shocking. This never happens to anyone in a similar situation.
I get your sarcasm which is understandable but you kind of negate it by saying it is hot and humid out. Muscle pulls are not common in hot weather. Cramps are. Muscle pulls are more common in cold weather or when the muscles aren't warmed up.
but it wouldn't have been that hard to believe he did get hurt again, because he has the tendency to get hurt. Plus, multiple beat writers said he had a brace or wrap on his knee and was being seen by the medical staff. It's only day 2 of camp, I'm not going to jinx it anymore.
Aside from the fact that that is patently false (any conditions leading to dehydration increase risk of cramp and strain) the report simply said tightness which could be either.
Kris Adams drops another, grabs his hand again. Hurting.
Muasau picks off Nassib. "Welcome to the NFL," says the LB who's never been there himself.

First pick of the day goes to Muasau, who stepped in front of a pass from Nassib and took it all the way. #nyg

Jake Muasau just had a nice pick off Ryan Nassib across middle in 7s
Looks like Nicks has something on the knees, some sort of brace or wrap. Will check on that. #nyg
Hope it's not a brace.

Damontre Moore pitting on a show at 2nd team DE. Cuts inside DeGeare, beats Robinson, draws holding vs Pugh. Impressive series.

Upon further review, no wrap on Nicks. Not with the training staff either, so he may still just be easing back into things. #nyg
Cruz scores on the first play of a team session. d'imperio checking in with the starters As well at FB. #nyg
The guy just brings it. Even in practice.
Tyler Sash got right leg tangled up during final drill. Off to locker room on cart #nyg
Hope Sash is alright though.
Coughlin said he thinks Hakeem Nicks might have experienced some tightness in the groin area and was held out.
Cramps for Sash, groin tightness for Nicks. #nyg
