Nabers exited late in the team’s Week 4 loss to the Dallas Cowboys after failing to haul in a fourth-down pass attempt and landing hard on the ground.

The sixth overall selection in April’s draft leads the NFL with 35 catches through four contests. He’s turned those receptions into 386 yards and three touchdowns.

Wan’Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton, and Jalin Hyatt are expected to operate as the team’s top receivers with Nabers unable to suit up. Robinson has been limited in this week’s practices due to a heel injury, though.
