Injury roundup: Ryan Mathews not expected to play

There's a lot of news swimming around on Sunday mornings. Let's get you up to date with the biggest injury news so far. Our complete inactives list is listed right here. 

  1. Kimberly Jones reported on NFL Network's "First on the Field" that New York Giants wide receiver Hakeem Nicks  likely will face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He is officially active. This was expected, but good to hear for Giants fans after Nicks missed some practice during the week. Cornerback Prince Amukamara is a surprise inactive. Linebacker Keith Rivers also is out for a defense that has a few holes in the back seven.
