Giants rookie WR Malik Nabers ruled out for game against Seahawks due to concussion
u/alex •
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.
