New York Giants wide receiver Hakeem Nicks will miss Sunday's game against the NFC East rival Philadelphia Eagles.
Nicks, who missed last Thursday's game at Carolina due to a foot injury, was experiencing swelling in his knee this week. He was originally ruled as doubtful after practicing on Thursday and missing Friday's session, but will not make the trip to Philadelphia, according to the team's Twitter account.
In six career games against the Eagles, Nicks has recorded 26 catches for 385 yards and two touchdowns.
