Giants receiver Hakeem Nicks is unlikely to play on Sunday night against the Eagles.

The Giants have listed Nicks as doubtful with the foot injury he suffered two weeks ago, and he has also reportedly experienced swelling in his knee. Nicks has already missed one game, last Thursday against the Panthers, and now appears set to miss another.

Nicks was off to a great start this season, with 14 catches for 237 yards and a touchdown in the first two weeks. The Giants’ offense played well in his absence against the Panthers.

The Giants have confirmed that tackle David Diehl, linebacker Keith Rivers and cornerback Jayron Hosley will all miss Sunday’s game as well.
