FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Tampa Bay offensive guard Carl Nicks expects to play in his first game in 10 months when the Buccaneers face the New England Patriots in an exhibition game Friday night. While Bucs coach Greg Schiano wouldnt commit to using Nicks, who is recovering from a left toe injury, the 2011 All-Pro said Thursday, "I think thats the plan now, unless something changes." Nicks last played Oct. 25 but took part in the three days of joint practices with the Patriots that ended with a walkthrough Thursday. Schiano thought Nicks would play but wanted to wait before making a final decision. "I just want to play it by ear, see how he feels," Schiano said. "Right now, it isnt what Im concerned with. Although I want to get him work if he can, Im not going to be overly cautious, but, at the same time, I dont want to be silly." Nicks played all 64 games with the New Orleans Saints after they drafted him in the fifth round out of Nebraska in 2009. But he was limited to seven games last year with Tampa Bay. Nicks said he wasnt nervous about coming back. "If I was a rookie or maybe a second-year guy, maybe," he said, "but its just another day at the office." And, he said, hes "as confident as I can be. This kind of injury, I dont know many people have it. (Im) as confident as (I can be with) the information Ive been told." Schiano said hes still deciding how many plays his first team offence and defence will get against the Patriots. Theres a chance the Bucs will be facing Tom Brady, an unlikely prospect when the Patriots quarterback left Wednesdays practice with a sprained left knee. But on Thursday, Brady took all the snaps with the first-team offence and played without a limp. He was hurt when defensive end Adrian Clayborn rushed left tackle Nate Solder, who fell back into Brady, forcing the quarterback to the ground where he clutched his knee. "Its just unfortunate," Schiano said. "You talk all the time about letting them throw and the bull-rush stuff, but Im glad hes OK and its one of the dangers. You keep warning (players), but its hard, especially when they get competing with each other. So its part of the deal. Weve just got to try to prevent it, if at all possible." Did Clayborn do anything wrong in charging hard? "I just think everybodys playing football," Schiano said. "Im not going to get into right or wrong. Its an inherent risk with what we do. We try to be really smart with it. They try to be really smart with it. It was just a great three days of work. You cant get this against yourself. So Im really pleased." Vans Outlet Store .

Ibrox supporters believe Alan Stubbs team should pay tribute by applauding their side on to the Easter Road pitch but that might be a bitter pill to swallow for the Edinburgh side, especially with their promotion hopes now hanging in the balance.Stubbs has refused to confirm or deny whether his players will welcome Rangers out of the tunnel, but midfielder Halliday says there will be no row if the hosts reject the request. Rangers manager Mark Warburton (left) with Andy Halliday He said: Thats up to Hibs. I would like to think [they would] as obviously its been part and parcel of football for a long time. But its up to them. There will certainly be no hard feelings if they dont. Its completely up to them. Manager Mark Warburton admits he would be touched by such a move but also said there would be no issue if it does not materialise.If its a gesture made by a club then were appreciative of it, he said. If its not then theres no issue. Well see what happens. It happens sometimes, other times it doesnt. So we will wait until Wednesday but it wont be high on the agenda from our perspective. Hibs boss Alan Stubbs and Rangers manager Mark Warburton Would we do it if roles were reversed? If that was the case we could discuss it, but it didnt happen.Wednesdays clash will act as a dress rehearsal for next months Scottish Cup final after both sides booked their place with dramatic penalty shoot-out victories in the last four.Hibs overcame Dundee United but will place just as much importance on their midweek encounter with the Gers as they look to breathe fresh life into their play-off hopes. Hibernian Head Coach Alan Stubbs wants his side to forget about their Scottish Cup final with Rangers and focus on beating them in the Championship After beating Celltic, Rangers are aiming for their first major cup triumph since 2011 and a return to Europe four years on from their financial troubles.dddddddddddd Halliday is more concerned about maintaining momentum but does not think the midweek result will have an impact come cup final day.Were going to go for the cup and Europe but weve got a very tough game in Hibs, he said. They got to the League Cup final and now theyre in the Scottish Cup final as well as challenging for promotion. Rangers players celebrate their penalty shoot-out win over Celtic I think they are a side that has not had enough credit for the way they have done this season.But I dont think (Wednesdays game will have any extra impact ahead of the cup final). Anything can happen in a cup game. Hibs are a good team, were a good team and there is so much at stake so it will really be the team which turns up on cup final day that wins the game and the cup, so I dont think that will have any bearing on how Wednesday will pan out.The cup winners will enter next seasons Europa League at the second qualifying round on July 14 but Warburton is not worried that fighting on two fronts would tire his team out as they try to re-adjust to life in the top flight. Rangers manager Mark Warburton thinks their Scottish Cup win against Celtic proves how good they are I think you have to accept European football and say thank you very much, he said. If you have the chance to go for European football, to test your squad, to develop the players, to excite the fans, I cant believe you would turn that down. What we have to do is prepare as well as possible for it.It will be a new experience for many but people like Davie Weir and Kenny Miller have been through it, so we have experience in the squad and the players we bring in we hope will have experience as well.Watch Hibernian v Rangers on Wednesday, live on Sky Sports 2, from 7.30pm.
