East Rutherford, NJ (Sports Network) - New York Giants wide receiver Hakeem Nicks fractured the fifth metatarsal in his right foot during the team's second organized team activity workout on Thursday.

Nicks, who caught 76 balls for 1,192 yards and seven touchdowns for New York last season, will undergo surgery on Friday to have a screw inserted into the broken bone.

The expected recovery time for the 24-year-old North Carolina product is approximately 12 weeks.

Over the course of three seasons, all with the Giants, Nicks has registered 202 receptions, 3,034 yards and 24 touchdowns.

In addition, cornerback Brian Witherspoon, who tore his anterior cruciate ligament for a second consecutive year during Wednesday's OTA workout, was waived/injured.

To fill his spot on the roster, New York inked six-year veteran defensive back Dante Hughes.
