The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ... Nicks plans to be ready to go full speed for the start of the offseason program, QB Eli Manning said. "Hakeem is doing well. Talked to him the other day, and he’s training and getting ready, and he’ll be ready when we start the spring," Nicks said. "He’ll be full go and running, so that’s good."

Diehards Line:Nicks had a scope on the left knee he injured in Week 2 against the Buccaneers. Nicks suggested he may have suffered the injury, in part, because he was compensating for pain in the right foot he fractured last spring. Nicks missed three games with the foot and knee injuries, but was considerably slowed by both for the balance of the season. Indeed, he failed to post 1,000 yards receiving for the first time since 2009. Nicks finished third on the Giants with 53 receptions, notching 692 yards and three touchdowns. His progress will be something we follow closely throughout the offseason.
