Giants rookie WR Malik Nabers ruled out for game against Seahawks due to concussion
Posted Oct 4, 2024
New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers will miss Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks due to a concussion.
Why it matters: Nabers' absence leaves a significant void in the Giants' receiving corps and could impact their offensive game plan against the Seahawks.
Nabers sustained the concussion during a game against the Dallas Cowboys on September 26, and he remains in the concussion protocol.
- Coach Brian Daboll: "Malik Nabers remains in the concussion protocol and will not travel with the Giants to Seattle."
Yes, but: Despite being a rookie, Nabers has been a standout performer for the Giants this season.
- He leads the league with 35 catches for 386 yards and three touchdowns in just four games.
What to watch: The Giants will need other receivers to step up in Nabers' absence to fill the production gap.
- Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton are expected to take on larger roles in the offense.
While Nabers' absence is significant, there are other injury updates worth noting:
- Running back Devin Singletary is expected to practice despite a groin injury.
- Cornerbacks Adoree' Jackson and Dru Phillips are "trending in the right direction" with their calf injuries.
The bottom line: The Giants will have to adjust their game plan without Malik Nabers, relying on other receivers to pick up the slack in his absence.
