Hakeem Nicks, C.J. Spiller headline the NFL’s Week 4 injury report (Shutdown Corner)

When the New York Giants take on the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night, they will be without starting right tackle David Diehl, rookie nickel corner Jayron Hosley, and linebacker Keith Rivers, who have already been ruled “out” by head coach Tom Coughlin. The Giants will also be without No. 1 receiver Hakeem Nicks, whose offseason foot surgery has made him a question mark during the early part of the season. Nicks’ added a knee injury to the injury report this week and, after initially being listed as “doubtful” to play against the Eagles, was downgraded to “out” on Saturday and will not make the trip to Philadelphia. Meanwhile, left tackle King Dunlap (hamstring) is out, which means Demetress Bell will make another start for the Eagles. After missing last week’s loss to the Arizona Cardinals, wide receiver Jeremy Maclin (hip) is listed as “probable” and should be good to go on Sunday night. Buffalo Bills running backs Fred Jackson (knee) and C.J. Spiller (shoulder) are listed as “questionable” for Sunday afternoon’s game against the New England Patriots. Of the two backs, Jackson is the more likely to actually play on Sunday. For New England, they’ll be without tight end Aaron Hernandez, who missed Week 3’s loss to the Baltimore Ravens with an ankle injury that is expected to keep him out for four-to-six weeks. Edelman suffered a left hand injury in the loss to the Ravens and missed all of this week’s practices.
