Nicks' left knee was heavily wrapped, but coach Tom Coughlin said the swelling was down enough to take his normal turns in practice. Coughlin admits the injuries to Nicks and Ahmad Bradshaw have limited what the Giants normally do on offense. Today's activity is a sign that Nicks plans on playing versus the Bengals on Sunday. He hasn't topped 53 yards or scored a touchdown in any of his last four games, but still possesses monster upside anytime he's active.
