Is Malik Nabers playing this week? Giants WR remains in concussion protocol ahead of Week 5 vs. Seahawks | Sporting News Australia

Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers has been a revelation so far this year. But the 21-year-old rookie was sidelined by a concussion in New York’s last game. 

Nabers’ injury in the Giants’ loss to the Cowboys last Thursday night left his status for Week 5 in doubt. He remained in protocol throughout this week’s practices. What is his status heading into the Giants’ game Sunday against the Seahawks in Seattle?

Will Malik Nabers play this week?

The Giants officially ruled Nabers out for their Week 5 matchup against the Seahawks. Nabers did not practice on either Wednesday or Thursday and he is not expected to practice for New York on Friday.

It was always going to be tough for Nabers to play this week, as players who enter the concussion protocol during a game rarely get cleared to play the following week.
