HC Tom Coughlin called it “basketball ankle.” Nicks said he’s been dealing with it for a few years now and rolls it twice per season. He said it happened while running an in cut today. Still, Nicks isn’t concerned. “No, got no reason to be concerned about it. It’s an important game,” he told Star-Ledger staffer Mike Garafolo. “I’ll put it out of my mind and won’t think about it.” Asked about dealing with the ankle on a potentially slick field (rain is in the forecast for San Francisco on Sunday), Nicks replied, “Just tape it up, wrap it up real good. I’ll be all right.” At least it's not a new injury for Nicks. "Yeah that’s the good thing about it," he said. "Same one I’m used to dealing with. Nothing new. ..." Nicks drew heavy coverage in the first meeting between the two teams this year, giving Victor Cruz (and Mario Manningham) less attention. That approach could change this weekend given Cruz's ongoing success.
