Malik Nabers

The Athletic’s Dan Duggan reports Malik Nabers (concussion) “did much less” in Thursday’s practice than on Wednesday.

Duggan is only privy to the portion of practice open to the media, but it’s still a bad sign for the rookie receiver. Nabers will go down as a DNP when the Giants release their injury report for today. Head coach Brian Daboll told reporters it would be hard for Nabers to clear the league’s concussion protocol if he doesn’t practice on Friday. All signs point to Nabers missing another week with the brain injury. Darius Slayton stepped up with eight catches for 122 yards and a touchdown in Week 5. He would presumably be the team’s top receiver once again if Nabers sits. Slayton is worth an add as a potential WR4 in all fantasy formats.
