Malik Nabers generated 183 yards against man coverage in Weeks 1-4, the most by any rookie during the first four weeks of a season since 2020.

Malik Nabers (238 yards) and Ja’Marr Chase (173 yards) rank 1st and 3rd in receiving yards on plays where they were sent in motion this season.

Ruled out for Week 6

Nabers (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Nabers hasn't practiced since suffering a concussion in a Thursday loss to the Cowboys on Sept. 26. He's been doing some physical activity this week, but reports didn't exactly hint at much progress, suggesting he did less Thursday than Wednesday. He'll apparently be on the side field again Friday, per Dan Duggan of The Athletic, with the Giants seemingly hoping for a return to actual practices next week ahead of an Oct. 20 game against the Eagles. Jalin Hyatt took most of Nabers' usual snaps…read more

No practice Thursday

Nabers (concussion) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Analysis: Nabers hasn't practiced since suffering a concussion in the waning moments of the Giants' Week 4 loss to the Cowboys on Thursday, Sept. 26. Coach Brian Daboll even told Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports on Thursday that Nabers didn't make any progress through the protocol for head injuries from one day prior. Nabers was seen on a stationary bike Thursday, but it was the only activity he managed after running and taking part in other football-related drills Wednesday, per Dan Duggan of The Athletic.…read more

No progress through protocol

Giants coach Brian Daboll said Nabers didn't make progress through concussion protocol between Wednesday and Thursday, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

Analysis: It hints at a second straight absence, although Nabers still has a couple days to advance through the protocol before Sunday night's matchup with the Bengals. He was limited to side work Wednesday and listed as a non-participant on the injury report.

Day-to-day, getting work on side

Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that Nabers (concussion) is day-to-day and will get some work in on the side at practice Wednesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Daboll said Nabers is "doing better," but the rookie first-round pick still hasn't progressed enough through the NFL's concussion protocol to do anything more at practice than working with trainers on the side field. Still, Nabers is making progress after not having been able to practice in any capacity prior to being ruled out for New York's win over the Seahawks in Week 5. If Nabers is to suit up for Sunday's game against the Bengals he will need to pass through all phases of the five-step…read more

Ruled out for Week 5

Nabers (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Seattle, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Nabers remains in concussion protocol after taking a hard hit late in the fourth quarter of last Thursday's loss to Dallas. He didn't practice this week, and his next chance to play will be Sunday, Oct. 13 against the Bengals.

Looks unlikely for Week 5

Nabers (concussion) won't practice Thursday, and head coach Brian Daboll did not express optimism about the receiver's chances of playing Sunday against the Seahawks, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.

Analysis: Though Daboll noted that Nabers is progressing in his recovery from the concussion he sustained in last Thursday's loss to the Cowboys, the wideout has yet to take any tangible steps forward in terms of on-field activity one week after suffering the brain injury. Nabers will have one more chance Friday to potentially practice before the Giants give him a designation for Sunday's game, but barring dramatic improvement, the standout receiver looks set to miss the first contest of his young NFL…read more

Won't practice Wednesday

Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that Nabers (concussion) won't participate in practice Wednesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Daboll said Nabers is in the "early stages" of the NFL's concussion protocol and "day-to-day," per Patricia Traina of SI.com. The rookie first-round pick will need to fully pass through the NFL's five-step protocol -- including gaining clearance from an independent neurologist -- before being given the green light to return to the field, making him uncertain for Sunday's road matchup against the Seahawks. The impressive rookie will at least benefit from a few extra days to get healthy, given…read more

Suffers concussion against Cowboys

Nabers suffered a concussion in the fourth quarter of Thursday's 20-15 loss to the Cowboys, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Nabers attempted to make a catch along the sideline on one of the Giants' final possessions of the game. He landed hard on the turf and was escorted to the locker room by the training staff. Prior to his exit, Nabers continued his impressive rookie season by tunring 15 targets into 12 catches for 115 yards.

Two TDs lead team to first win

Nabers caught eight of 12 targets for 78 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 21-15 win over the Browns. He also rushed twice for four yards and threw an incomplete pass.

Analysis: Nabers picked up a first down on fourth-and-1 with two yards on an end-around in the first quarter, then took over in the second quarter. Four plays after making a spectacular catch for a 28-yard gain down the sideline, Nabers capped that drive with an even better catch for a three-yard touchdown, on which the rookie displayed tremendous body control to get both feet down before his hand touched out of bounds as he was falling down. Just 1:33 later, Nabers caught a five-yard touchdown to give…read more

Huge volume in Sunday's loss

Nabers caught 10 of 18 targets for 127 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Commanders.

Analysis: The rookie wideout was Daniel Jones' first read, and usually his only one, for most of the afternoon, as the rest of the Giants' pass catchers combined for only six catches on 10 targets for 51 yards. While a four-yard grab just before halftime gave Nabers his first career TD, it was one of the passes he couldn't haul in that will likely stick with him. On New York's final possession in the fourth quarter with the score tied 18-18, Nabers couldn't handle a sideline pass on fourth down that…read more

Clear for Week 2

Nabers (knee) practiced in full Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Washington, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports

Analysis: The Giants tacked on Nabers to their Week 2 injury report Thursday as limited due to a knee issue, but coach Brian Daboll spoke on the situation Friday, relaying the rookie wide receiver was "good," and there was "no concern" regarding his status, per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com. Indeed, that has come to pass, and Nabers will join Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton (concussion) and Jalin Hyatt as the top available WRs for QB Daniel Jones this weekend.

Expected to play

Coach Brian Daboll said Friday morning that Nabers (knee) is "good" and there's "no concern" about his status for Sunday's game at Washington, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: The Giants added Nabers to the injury report Thursday as a limited participant, following his 5-66-0 line on seven targets in a season-opening loss to the Vikings. It sounds like the injury isn't serious and he'll be ready to play come Sunday, but it's still possible the Giants list Nabers on their final injury report Friday afternoon.

Tending to knee injury

Nabers was a limited participant at Thursday's practice due to a knee injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Analysis: With the addition of Nabers to the Giants' Week 2 injury report, two of the team's top three wide receivers now have a cloud hanging over their statuses ahead of Sunday's game at Washington. Fellow wideout Darius Slayton also was limited as he makes his way through the concussion protocol, leaving Wan'Dale Robinson and Jalin Hyatt as New York's healthiest options at the position. Friday's report may shed light on Nabers' potential to play going into the weekend.

Team's leading receiver in Week 1

Nabers had five catches for 66 yards on seven targets in Sunday's 28-6 loss to the Vikings.

Analysis: After failing to catch his first two targets, Nabers made his first catch late in the first quarter, finding a hole in Minnesota's zone defense to pick up 25 yards on third down. He finished with a team-high 66 receiving yards, but Wan'Dale Robinson led the Giants in both targets (12) and catches (six) despite finishing with only 44 yards. Daniel Jones didn't look down the field much as the Giants failed to get into the end zone, so while Nabers clearly looks like the most talented member of…read more

Four grabs against Houston

Nabers caught four of six targets for 54 yards and added one carry for five yards in Saturday's 28-10 preseason loss to the Texans.

Analysis: The rookie showed off his first-round talent on a spectacular 21-yard catch along the sideline during a two-minute drill at the end of the second quarter, as he pulled down a ball that was slightly overthrown with a leaping catch and got both feet down in bounds to help to set up a field goal. Nabers flashed some chemistry with Daniel Jones in their first game together, and the Giants are counting on the sixth overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft to be the elite downfield threat the franchise has…read more

Expected to play

Nabers (ankle) is in line to play in Saturday's preseason game against Houston, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Nabers suffered an ankle injury six days prior in the Giants' first practice after their preseason-opening win over the Lions. Nabers finished that game without a target despite playing three drives, and he's now on track for another preseason appearance after a quick recovery from the ankle injury.

Resumes practicing in full

Coach Brian Daboll said Thursday that Nabers (ankle) will be a full participant in practice, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

Analysis: Daboll also said there's "definitely a chance" Nabers plays in Saturday's preseason game against the Texans, per Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record. The rookie first-round pick suffered an ankle injury at practice Sunday, and despite initial concerns, Nabers has managed to work his way back from the sprain in quick fashion. During last week's preseason opener against the Lions, Nabers went without a target while playing on the game's first three drives. Daboll has stated that Daniel Jones will…read more

No concerns for Week 1

Nabers (ankle), who is not practicing Tuesday, said he has "no doubt" he'll be able to play in Week 1 and that his injury is "nothing serious," Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Analysis: Coach Brian Daboll said Monday that Nabers is considered day-to-day after leaving Sunday's practice due to an ankle issue, and MRI and X-Ray tests revealed Tuesday that the rookie first-round pick has indeed avoided a serious issue. Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports that the issue is a sprain, which Nabers said won't need any support when he's ready to return to action. It's a relief that his availability for New York's regular-season opener against Minnesota on Sept. 8 isn't in…read more

Tests reveal nothing major

Tests on Nabers' ankle didn't reveal a serious injury, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

Analysis: The Giants apparently got favorable results from an MRI and X-Ray, with coach Brian Daboll suggesting Tuesday that Nabers will miss some practice time but isn't expected to be out for too long. Daboll declined to provide a diagnosis or a firmer timeline for his return, merely confirming that the tests didn't reveal anything worrisome.

Considered day-to-day

Coach Brian Daboll said Monday that Nabers (ankle) is "sore" and considered day-to-day, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports.

Analysis: Nabers reportedly sprained his ankle during Sunday's practice, and while he won't participate Monday, it sounds like the Giants aren't at all concerned about a lengthy absence. He played three drives in Thursday's preseason opener against the Lions, finishing without a target on 12 snaps.

Injury appears to be minor

The Giants believe Nabers, who exited practice early Sunday, is dealing with a minor ankle sprain, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Nabers took off his left shoe and limped to the sideline late in Sunday's practice, but Ranaan reports that the Giants don't seem too concerned about the issue at this point. If the initial belief that the rookie wideout is suffering from a minor sprain proves to be true, he could be held out for Saturday's preseason matchup at Houston, but the injury probably won't prevent Nabers from suiting up for Week 1 of the regular season. Of course, the organization isn't likely to take any chances with…read more

Limps off field during practice

Nabers exited Sunday's practice early and was seen limping at the end of the the Giants' team drills, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: It's not yet clear what caused the issue, but Nabers took off his left shoe and limped off the field before practice had ended, per Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News. Duggan notes that the rookie wideout didn't go to the locker room but was using a band to stretch his left ankle/foot while sitting on the sideline, and he was limping at the end of the session. Nabers is primed to be an integral part of New York's offense after the team drafted him sixth overall in the 2024 Draft, so it's…read more

No targets in preseason debut

Nabers wasn't targeted in Thursday's 14-3 preseason win over the Lions.

Analysis: Nabers played the first three drives of the Giants' preseason opener but didn't get any attention from Drew Lock, and the quarterback subsequently exited the game due to a hip injury. Per Jordan Raanan of ESPN, Nabers ran eight routes on his 12 snaps. The sixth overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft may ramp up his participation in the next preseason game against the Texans, but it will be hard to evaluate Nabers until he shares the field with starting quarterback Daniel Jones, who may not play in…read more

Slated to play Thursday

Nabers is in line to play in Thursday's preseason game against the Lions, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: ESPN reported early Thursday that Nabers would be among a number of Giants starters to not suit up for the team's exhibition opener, but the rookie first-round pick indeed will be available for up to the entire first quarter. Nabers has been ripping it up since arriving in New York as the sixth overall pick back in April, and Thursday will mark his first game action in the NFL.

Not scheduled to play Thursday

Nabers and other starters aren't expected to play in Thursday's preseason game against the Lions, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Raanan suggests the starters could play the following Saturday against Houston, although there's been nothing from the team to confirm that so far. Nabers has drawn rave reviews throughout training camp, apparently looking the part of a sixth overall pick (and then some).
