NFL Week 7 Inactives: Who’s in, who’s out for Eagles at Giants

Malik Nabers will return to the field Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles after missing two games with a concussion.

Despite missing those two games, he still leads the Giants with 386 receiving yards and three touchdowns. Wan’Dale Robinson jumped past him and now has a team-high 37 catches, two more than Nabers. Robinson is second in the NFL with 58 targets, six more than Nabers.

When he was injured late in the fourth quarter against Dallas on Sept. 26, Nabers led the league in targets and catches and was second in yards.

Defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence (hip) and linebacker Brian Burns (groin) were listed as questionable for the game. Safety Dane Belton did not practice because of illness and was also questionable.

The Giants announced Friday that cornerback Adoree’ Jackson (neck) and punter Jamie Gillan will not play Sunday against Philadelphia.

The Giants filled the roster spot created when Andrew Thomas was placed on injured reserve by signing veteran offensive lineman Chris Hubbard off the San Francisco 49es’ practice squad. They received intel on Hubbard from tight ends coach Tim Kelly, who was with him last season in Tennessee.

Hubbard, 6-4 and 295 pounds, has played in 94 regular-season games with 58 starts in 10 seasons for Pittsburgh (four years), Cleveland (five) and Tennessee (one). He made 55 starts at right tackle, two as an extra tackle, and one as a tight end. In 2023 with the Titans, Hubbard started all nine games in which he played at right tackle. He also played in six postseason games for the Steelers from 2015-17.

Hubbard entered the NFL as a rookie free agent from Alabama at Birmingham in 2014.

On Saturday, the Giants elevated outside linebacker Tomon Fox from the practice squad.
