Giants Final Week 2 Injury Report: Malik Nabers Good to Go
New York Giants fans worried about the news of rookie receiver Malik Nabers landing on the injury report with a knee issue on Thursday can exhale.
During Thursday's practice, Nabers felt some tightness in his knee, prompting the coaches and medical staff to pull back on his rep distribution, which earned him a limited designation in the injury report.
But on Friday, Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that the rookie was good and was set to practice, adding, “We'll see how he feels when he gets out here, but no concern. He'll be ready to play.”
In other injury news, Daboll said receiver Darius Slayton, who has been in the concussion protocol, has advanced to the contact stage. His status for Sunday will depend on whether an independent neurological consultant clears him.
“Trending in the right direction,” Daboll said of Slayton.
