A lingering toe injury to Carl Nicks will likely keep him out the entire preseason.
Nicks, who missed the final nine games of last season for Tampa Bay after becoming the highest paid offensive guard in the off-season, hopes to be ready for the season opener.
Nicks, a North Salinas High and Hartnell College disciple, has told reporters that it hurts to walk and sometimes just stand.
That can not be a good thing for a 350-pound all-pro lineman, who needs his feet to bully defensive lineman.
This type of injury has ended the careers of numerous players, including Deion Sanders.
