Getty Images New York Giants wide receiver Hakeem Nicks was a guest on Chris McClain and Jim Celania on WFNZ in Charlotte (via SportsRadioInterviews.com) and was asked if he’ll be ready for next month’s training camp after suffering a broken foot at the end of May. “Definitely making training camp,” said Nicks.   “I started running about two weeks [ago] but the coaches don’t really want me to force the issue right now so I still haven’t started running yet. They want me to just take my time with it — they feel like that’s what’s best. So right now I’m just taking my time with it. … But I’ll definitely be ready for the season.” Nicks was asked if his foot is in a cast of walking boot. “No, I’m not in nothing no more,” replied Nicks. I’m sure the Giants aren’t worried about Nicks being ready for camp.  I think they want to make sure he gets back to being 100% healthy for the regular season.

Despite Eli Manning's Longevity, New York Giants Place High Value on Back-Up Quarterbacks
