Rookie WR Malik Nabers questionable for Giants-Saints game due to hip flexor injury

u/alex • 1m

Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers is questionable for Sunday's game due to a hip flexor injury.

Why it matters: Nabers' potential absence could significantly impact the Giants' receiving corps and their offensive strategy against the Saints.

If Nabers is unable to play, the Giants will have to rely on other wide receivers such as Darius Slayton and Jalin Hyatt to step up in his place.
Wan'Dale Robinson is expected to remain in the slot position.

What's new: Nabers suffered the hip flexor injury during Thursday's practice, specifically during one-on-one drills.

Coach Brian Daboll expressed hope that Nabers would be ready to play, but his availability is uncertain at this point.

Yes, but: The Giants have faced multiple injury concerns leading up to the game against the Saints.

Star defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence II and tight end Theo Johnson have been placed on injured reserve.
Starting cornerback Deonte Banks, linebacker Bobby Okereke, and defensive lineman Rakeem Nunez-Roches have been ruled out for the game.
Left tackle Jermaine Eluemunor and defensive tackle D.J. Davidson are doubtful with injuries.

What to watch: If Nabers is unable to play, it will be interesting to see how the Giants adjust their offensive game plan and distribute targets among the remaining wide receivers.

What's next: The Giants may need to elevate or activate multiple defensive linemen from the practice squad to compensate for the injuries on the defensive side.

The bottom line: Nabers' injury adds to the list of challenges the Giants face heading into their game against the Saints, requiring other players to step up and fill the void.
