Nicks(knee) out vs Eagles

[Lake Louise]

How worried should the New York Giants be about wide receiver Hakeem Nicks?
Nicks was downgraded to out on the team's injury report Saturday, a day after the team said Nicks developed swelling in his knee. Nicks won't travel with the Giants on Sunday when they take on the Philadelphia
According to Ian Begley of ESPNNewYork.com, the injury originated when he hit the ground on a catch attempt late in the Giants' Week 2 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Giants decided Nicks wasn't ready on Thursday after he attempted to do some running for the first time since Week 2. Though the team hasn't specified, it's believed the swelling is in Nicks' left knee. He's also dealing with lingering soreness in his surgically repaired right foot.
With Nicks remaining in New Jersey this weekend, the next question becomes if Nicks will be available when the Giants host the Cleveland Browns on Oct. 7.
Ramses Barden did an excellent job filling in for Nicks against the Carolina Panthers. They'll need Barden to step up again against the Eagles

Second straight week Nicks was downgraded and out for the game. I thought that he would be ready for this game, because he had a lot of time in between to rest up, since the last game was on Thursday, but I guess not. Luckily, for the Giants, they had Barden step up in Nicks absence, and they'll need him to step up again, or someone else. Although, now guys will keep an eye on Barden when he is in there.
