New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers is making progress despite being sitting out practice on Thursday, head coach Brian Daboll told reporters.
Nabers remains in concussion protocol as New York continue its preparations for a road game against Seattle. The Giants (1-3) will travel to the Emerald City on Saturday morning, one day ahead of their game versus the Seahawks (3-1).
Daboll said the team will wait as long as possible before making an official decision on Nabers.
Also on Thursday, running back Devin Singletary (groin) did not practice. Cornerbacks Adoree’ Jackson (calf) and Dru Phillips (calf), linebacker Brian Burns (groin) and wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson (heel) were limited participants, while linebacker Matt Adams (quad) was a full participant.
Nabers was injured while attempting to hold onto the ball along the sideline during a fourth-and-6 play with 3 1/2 minutes remaining in a 20-15 loss to the visiting Dallas Cowboys last Thursday. As he came down, his head hit the ground facemask-first.
Nabers, 21, has a league-high 35 catches for 386 yards and three touchdowns in four games since being selected by New York with the sixth overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft out of LSU.
Robinson, if he’s able to play, and Darius Slayton would be looked upon to pick up the slack should Nabers sit out against the Seahawks.
