EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — New York Giants wide receiver Hakeem Nicks will miss at least three weeks to be treated for Compartment Syndrome.
Nicks was injured after a hit to his lower right leg in Sunday’s 27-17 loss in Philadelphia. He experienced swelling in the area on Monday, which is consistent with Compartment Syndrome, a condition that compresses nerves and blood vessels. It can lead to muscle and nerve damage if not treated immediately. Nicks was scheduled to undergo a fasciotomy on Monday.
The Giants (6-4) play host to the Jaguars (6-4) on Sunday.
