Former New York Giants first-round pick Hakeem Nicks is rejoining the team to fill the roster spot created Monday when Victor Cruz was placed on injured reserve.
Nicks, 27, last played for the Giants in 2013, after turning down a contract offer to reach free agency. But from 2009-2013, Nicks had 27 touchdown catches and was the team's No. 1 receiver in 2011 with 76 receptions for 1,192 yards and seven touchdowns. He had 11 TD catches in 2010.
