Malik Nabers practiced with the New York Giants on Friday, and the rookie receiver was not on the injury report for this weekend’s game against the Washington Commanders.
Nabers, who was the sixth pick in the NFL draft, appeared on the injury report on Thursday due to a knee issue. The team noted that he was limited during practice.
Coach Brian Daboll was not worried about the injury before Friday’s practice and stated that Nabers would be ready to play in the NFC East game at Washington.
“We’ll see how he feels when he gets out here, but no concern. He’ll be ready to play,” Daboll said before practice.
Nabers led New York with five catches for 66 yards in a 28-6 loss to Minnesota in the season opener.
Wide receiver Darius Slayton also practiced fully and was cleared from the NFL concussion protocol after being assessed by an independent neurological consultant. He will likely be a game-time decision on Sunday.
The Giants announced that cornerback Nick McCloud (knee), rookie inside linebacker Darius Muasau (knee), and wide receiver/return specialist Gunner Olszewski will not be playing in the game against Washington.
