New York Giants wide receiver Hakeem Nicks has revealed that he does not feel aggrieved to be missing training camp with a groin injury.
The 25-year-old has missed the start of his side's preparations for the new season, which head coach Tom Coughlin described as "frustrating".
Nicks told the New York Post: "I don't feel frustrated at all. It's only the second week of camp. Just being smart.
"I'll be back out there in a day or two. I'm just trying to protect myself from myself. I'm so competitive.
"[This is] something I would have pushed myself and pushed myself through last season."
Nicks made 53 receptions and scored three touchdowns in the 2012 season.
