New York Giants Injury Update: Malik Nabers Trending in Wrong Direction

New York Giants rookie receiver Malik Nabers (concussion) missed his second day of practice Thursday as he remains in the early stages of the league’s protocol. 

Nabers suffered a concussion in last week’s 20-15 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. It was hoped that with the extra time he would be further along in the protocol, but everyone recovers at a different pace.

Although there are two more days for Nabers to advance through the  five-phase protocol, the rookie receiver is trending in the wrong direction for Sunday’s game against Seattle. Head coach Brian Daboll told reporters that they were going to wait as long as they could to make a decision on Nabers in the hopes that his recovery speeds up. 

The Giants’ final injury report is due on Friday. If Nabers is declared out, he can’t be upgraded whereas if he receives a questionable designation, he can be downgraded to out if he’s not cleared from the protocol.

In other injury news, running back Devin Singletary (groin) was also held out of practice for a second straight day. Singletary, who has not missed a game since 2019, worked with trainers on the side, Daboll said.

In some positive news, cornerbacks Dru Phillips and Adoree’ Jackson, who missed Week 4 with calf injuries, were expected to practice on a limited basis. It’s still too soon, however, to determine if one or both of the corners will be back for Sunday’s game in Seattle.
