New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers will not practice on Wednesday and he is still in the early stages of concussion protocol, according to Dan Salomone of Giants.com.
The Giants are taking it day to day with Malik Nabers. Obviously, it would be a big blow if he is not able to suit up for the Giants this Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks, as he is the main option in the Giants' passing offense for Daniel Jones. Nabers got hurt late in the fourth quarter against the Dallas Cowboys as he attempted to bring in a pass on the sideline on fourth down. He was unable to make the catch, and that was the play he suffered the concussion on.
It will be worth monitoring Nabers' status throughout the rest of the week, but given he is still in the early stages of concussion protocol, that is not a good sign for his status this weekend against the Seahawks. The Giants desperately need a win after falling to 1-3 on the season with two heartbreaking losses to the Washington Commanders and Cowboys.
Giants battling other injuries ahead of Seahawks clash
Obviously, the injury to Nabers is the most notable one for the Giants, but there are some other important ones as well. Running back Devin Singletary, along with cornerbacks Dru Phillips and Adoree' Jackson will not practice on Wednesday either.
Devin Singletary, the Giants' top running back, is dealing with a groin injury, according to Salomone. Dru Phillips and Adoree' Jackson were out for last week's game against the Cowboys with calf injuries.
Singletary is an important piece of the Giants' offense, although he is not a top running back in the league. He is a reliable veteran ahead of second year back Eric Gray and rookie Tyrone Tracy Jr. on the depth chart. It would be nice for the Giants if they can lean on Singletary, especially if Nabers is going to miss the game.
The injuries to Phillips and Jackson are important ones, as the Seahawks have a deep wide receiver group with DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and Jaxon Smith-Njigba. With Phillips and Jackson out last week, the Giants' cornerback group of Deonte Banks, Nick McCloud and Cor'Dale Flott held up relatively well against the Cowboys. Still, it would be good to have those two back. Especially Phillips, who looked great to start the year and is a promising young player.
