Surgery completed
Nabers underwent successful surgery Tuesday to repair a torn ACL and meniscus in his right knee, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: The star wideout sustained the knee injury in a Sept. 28 win over the Chargers, but he had been completing a "prehab" program over the past month before finally going under the knife Tuesday. He's scheduled to be discharged from the hospital Wednesday and will be able to immediately begin what's expected to be an extensive rehab process. Given that he suffered his knee injury early in the season, the 22-year-old is expected to be back to full health by the start of the 2026 campaign.

Surgery set for upcoming week
Nabers is scheduled to undergo surgery later this upcoming week to repair the torn ACL and meniscus in his right knee, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Though Nabers sustained the non-contact injury during a Sept. 28 win over the Chargers in Week 4, he needed one month to let the swelling in his knee subside and complete a rehab program before heading in for surgery. Assuming Nabers' upcoming procedure goes as planned, he's expected to be back to full strength for the start of the 2026 season. Before suffering the knee injury, the 22-year-old wideout played only a handful of snaps with rookie first-round quarterback Jaxson Dart, who made his…read more

Needs surgery for ACL, meniscus
Nabers will undergo surgery next week to repair a torn ACL and torn meniscus in his right knee, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Nabers tore both his ACL and meniscus during the second quarter of the Giants' Week 4 win over the Chargers. Schefter adds that the time off will allow Nabers to also recover from a partially torn labrum in his shoulder as well as a bout with turf toe, and the 2024 first-round pick is expected to return for the start of training camp in July. Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton, Jalin Hyatt and tight end Theo Johnson are expected to serve as the primary targets for rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart…read more

Lands on IR
Nabers (knee) has been placed on IR by the Giants, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Salomone also relayed earlier Monday that coach Brian Daboll confirmed Nabers will miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL. With Nabers officially on IR, Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton and Jalin Hyatt are poised to lead the teams' WR corps going forward, with Beaux Collins and Gunner Olszewski also available to mix in. In any case, losing the talented 2024 first-rounder for the rest of the campaign is a huge loss for a New York offense now helmed by rookie QB Jaxson Dart. Given the…read more

ACL tear confirmed
Nabers (knee) suffered a season-ending torn right ACL tear in Sunday's win over the Chargers, Dianna Russini of The Athletic and Adam Schefter of ESPN report.
Analysis: Nabers went down while attempting to make a leaping grab on a deep pass attempt from rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart, and the nature of the injury was confirmed Monday via an MRI. His loss is a brutal blow to both Dart's development and New York's passing game as a whole, which now will turn to Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton and Jalin Hyatt as regulars in three-wide sets, as well as offer further opportunities for tight end Theo Johnson and running back Tyrone Tracy (shoulder) once he's…read more

MRI to determine fate
Nabers is slated for an MRI on his right knee Monday to determine if he indeed suffered a torn ACL during Sunday's game versus the Chargers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: In the process of attempting to haul in a deep pass from rookie QB Jaxson Dart in the second quarter, Nabers grabbed at his right knee and remained on the turf for a spell before being carted off the field. The Giants ruled out Nabers after halftime, and Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reported not long afterward that the wide receiver was believed to have suffered an ACL tear.

Ruled out of Sunday's game
Coach Brian Daboll said Nabers (knee) won't return to Sunday's contest against the Chargers, James Palmer of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: While attempting to make a leaping catch down the sideline in the second quarter, Nabers clutched at his knee and stayed on the turf before being carted to the locker room. The nature of the injury hasn't been revealed, but he'll finish Week 4 with two catches (on three targets) for 20 yards.

Nabers was carted to the locker room due to an apparent right knee injury during Sunday's game against the Chargers, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Nabers stayed down on the ground while grabbing at his knee after he attempted to make a leaping grab down the sideline. Considering he needed a cart to leave the field, there's a decent chance his Week 4 is over.

Nabers (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: He's played through one injury or another in nearly every game since entering the NFL, with concussion protocol being the only thing that's actually kept him off the field or limited his snaps so far. Nabers should be busy again this Sunday in Jaxson Dart's first NFL start.

Nabers (shoulder) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Nabers made a brief exit in the second half of Sunday night's loss to the Chiefs when he broke up a deep shot from QB Russell Wilson in the end zone that left the wide receiver in pain on the turf for a spell. He followed up Wednesday's lack of activity with some drills Thursday and now has one more chance to practice this week before the Giants potentially tag him with a designation ahead of Sunday's game versus the Chargers.

Will practice Thursday
Coach Brian Daboll said Nabers (back) will practice Thursday, Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: It remains to be seen whether Nabers will be limited or full, but it's good news nonetheless after the star wideout logged a DNP on Wednesday. Nabers is tied for third in the NFL with 32 targets through three games, and only Puka Nacua (333), Jaxon Smith-Njigba (323) and Ricky Pearsall (281) have more receiving yards than Nabers' 251.

Sitting out practice Wednesday
Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Wednesday that Nabers (back) will not participate in practice, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.
Analysis: Nabers appears to simply be missing practice for maintenance-related reasons, as Daboll didn't deem it necessary to get into any specifics about the star wideout's current absence, though it's at least worth noting that Nabers left the game briefly Sunday after coming down hard after breaking up a potential interception. He's been managing back tightness since the preseason but hasn't faced any workload limitations on gamedays. Nabers posted a dud in Week 3 against the Chiefs, securing just two…read more

Struggles in primetime
Nabers recorded two receptions on seven targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 22-9 loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: The Giants were unable to replicate their offensive success from Week 2, which led to a very disappointing showing for Nabers. Many of his seven targets came in highly contested situations on passes that were nearly uncatchable, though he was finally schemed two short receptions in the fourth quarter. Nabers' talent isn't in question, but performances like this will happen occasionally given the current state of the Giants' offense. Nabers did leave the game briefly in the second half after…read more

Massive numbers in OT loss
Nabers caught nine of 13 targets for 167 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 40-37 overtime loss to the Cowboys.
Analysis: Russell Wilson turned back the clock with a performance reminiscent of his best days in Seattle, and Nabers was his main target, catching a 29-yard TD in the second quarter and a 48-yard score with just 25 seconds left in the fourth that appeared to have won the game for the Giants before Brandon Aubrey booted a ridiculous 64-yard field goal as time expired to send it to OT. Nabers has seen 25 targets through two games from Wilson, turning that volume into a 14-238-2 line, but he may not face a…read more

Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that Nabers (back) will be a full practice participant Thursday, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
Analysis: Nabers opened Week 2 prep Wednesday as a limited participant while he managed some back tightness, which had previously cropped up in training camp before rearing its head again last Friday. Despite being held out of drills in the final Week 1 practice session, Nabers headed into last Sunday's game against the Commanders without an injury designation and played 64 of 68 offensive snaps in the 21-6 loss en route to a 5-71-0 receiving line on 12 targets.

Giants coach Brian Daboll said that Nabers (back) will be limited in practice Wednesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Nabers' practice reps simply seem to be being managed, as he was limited in practice last Friday before being fully cleared to suit up for New York's 21-6 loss to the Commanders, in which he secured five of 12 targets for 71 yards. There's not yet any reason to believe that Nabers' status for Week 2 against the Cowboys on Sunday is truly in any jeopardy.

Turns 12 targets into 71 yards
Nabers caught five of 12 targets for 71 yards in Sunday's 21-6 loss to the Commanders.
Analysis: Nabers caught only two of five first-half targets for 23 yards as Russell Wilson mustered only 58 passing yards in his first two quarters as the Giants' quarterback. Things didn't get much better for the Giants on offense in the second half, though the cream rose to the top with Nabers finishing as the team leader in targets and receiving yards.

Clear for Week 1
Nabers (back) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at Washington, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Nabers tended to a number of health concerns during training camp and the preseason, notably back tightness that plagued him most recently. The Giants even held him out of drills Friday due to the injury, as coach Brian Daboll told Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com. In the end, though, Nabers will be available as the top target for starting QB Russell Wilson as he looks to build upon the 109-1,204-7 line on 170 targets he put together as a rookie last season.

Coach Brian Daboll noted that the Giants will "back down" on Nabers at Friday's practice, with the wideout dealing with some back tightness, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: While it looks like Nabers will be limited to some degree at Friday's practice, Daboll downplayed the issue, noting of the star wideout, "He'll be all right." In any case, Friday's final practice/injury report will determine whether or not Nabers approaches Sunday's season opener against the Commanders with an injury designation.

Last Wednesday, he told Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com that the issue was "a minor thing" and wasn't going to be a problem moving forward, which has come to pass.

It's an issue that dates back to college, and while it popped up again toward the end of his rookie season, Nabers nonetheless had 235 receiving yards and three TDs over the final two weeks, making his case as a first-round fantasy pick for 2025.

Analysis: Nabers crucially avoided the Giants' injury lists for the start of training camp after missing a number of spring practices due to an issue with his toe. The toe reportedly has bothered him at times since college, but he didn't miss any games when it popped up as a potential problem at the end of last season, instead putting up 235 receiving yards and three TDs over the final two weeks of a prolific rookie campaign.

Nabers caught seven of eight targets for 171 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 45-33 win over the Colts.

Nabers (toe) is listed as active Sunday against the Colts, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Nabers has been a regular on Giants injury reports for much of the season, and a toe issue left him questionable for Week 17 action following just one limited practice Friday. Nevertheless, he'll continue to play through whatever health concern he's dealing with at the time. Nabers will be on the receiving end of passes from QB Drew Lock on Sunday, and while seeing double-digit targets the last four games from a trio of signal-callers, he's still managed a 30-298-1 line on 51 targets.

The Giants and Colts are scheduled for a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, which means Nabers' availability, or lack thereof, will be known by 11:30 a.m. ET.

Slated to practice Friday
Head coach Brian Daboll noted that Nabers (toe) is in line to practice Friday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Per the report, Daboll is "hopeful" regarding the status of both Nabers (toe) and running back Tyrone Tracy (ankle) for Sunday's game against the Colts. Friday's final injury report will reveal the duo's official game designations, but Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com relayed Thursday that the wideout considers himself a "game-day decision" for the Giants' 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Labels self as 'gameday decision'
Nabers (toe) said after Thursday's practice that he views himself as a "gameday decision" for Sunday's tilt with the Colts, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Nabers has yet to practice this week while he manages a toe injury, but he said that he's aiming to get back on the field Friday for the Giants' final session of the week. If he's able to do so, it would alleviate some of the concern about his availability for Sunday, though Nabers would likely need to put in a full practice to avoid carrying a designation into the weekend. Despite being on the receiving end of subpar quarterback play for much of the season and also missing two games due to a…read more

Sitting out another practice
Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that Nabers (toe) won't practice Thursday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
Analysis: For the fourth week in a row, Nabers is on the Giants' injury report, but he may be more at risk of sitting out a game than he had been in either of the previous three weeks. After going down as a non-participant in practices Wednesday and Thursday, Nabers will have one more opportunity on Friday to potentially fit in some on-field work prior to Sunday's game against the Colts. Even if the rookie wideout is a limited participant in Friday's session, he would still be likely to carry a…read more

Dealing with toe injury
Nabers was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report due to a toe injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Nabers hasn't been a stranger to the injury report in his rookie campaign, but aside from missing Weeks 5 and 6 due to a concussion, he's been able to suit up on game days. Nonetheless, his status will be watched as the week goes on to get a sense of his odds to play Sunday against the Colts. Since the Giants' Week 11 bye, Nabers has gathered in 36 of 60 targets for 362 yards and one touchdown over five contests.

Leading receiver in Week 16 loss
Nabers caught seven of 14 targets for 68 yards in Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Falcons.
Analysis: The rookie wideout lead the Giants in receiving yards and targets while tying Wan'Dale Robinson in receptions, but the team's passing game couldn't get much going on a day in which Drew Lock threw two pick-sixes. Nabers has dealt with a variety of lower-body issues in practice in recent weeks but hasn't missed a game since Week 6, and neither the nagging injuries nor the Giants' QB turmoil have slowed him down much -- he's seen double-digit targets in four straight games, posting a 30-298-1…read more

Logs full practice Thursday
Nabers (knee/foot) practiced fully Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Nabers followed up a limited session Wednesday with full participation one day later, paving the way for the standout rookie to be available Sunday in Atlanta. He'll be taking on a Falcons defense that has allowed the fifth-most YPT (8.44) and most receiving touchdowns (20) to opposing wideouts in 14 games this season.

Limited by two injuries
Nabers was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice due to knee and foot injuries, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports.
Analysis: Nabers has dealt with numerous health concerns during his rookie campaign, but the combination of knee and foot issues are new injuries for the wideout. Even with four different quarterbacks taking snaps for the Giants this season, he's reeled off a 90-901-4 receiving line on 140 targets through 12 games. Nabers' status thus will be one to monitor as the week goes on to ensure he'll continue to be available for Sunday's game in Atlanta.

Double-digit catches again Sunday
Nabers secured 10 of 14 targets for 82 yards and a touchdown in the Giants' 35-14 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
Analysis: Nabers led the Giants across the board in receiving categories while posting his third double-digit reception total of his career. The rookie sensation's numbers are all the more admirable considering the team's abysmal quarterback situation, which took another turn for the worse Sunday when Tim Boyle had to replace Tommy DeVito (concussion). Nabers could be working with any of Boyle, DeVito or Drew Lock (heel/elbow) in a Week 16 road matchup against the Falcons.

Nabers (hip) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Nabers missed last Friday's practice due to a hip flexor injury, but he still was active this past Sunday versus the Saints, earning 94 percent of snaps and gathering in five of 10 targets for 79 yards. He then kicked off this week with back-to-back limited listings with the same health concern before the Giants cleared him for Week 15 action. Nabers will be on the receiving end of passes from Tommy DeVito on Sunday with Drew Lock (heel/left elbow) doubtful to suit up.

Analysis: Nabers was held out of last Friday's practice due to a hip flexor injury but still was able to suit up in Sunday's 14-11 loss to the Saints, turning a 94 percent snap share into five catches (on 10 targets) for 79 yards. The Giants contained Nabers to work on the side Wednesday, per Duggan, but the rookie wide receiver doesn't appear in danger of missing this Sunday's game against the Ravens as a result of the injury.

Nabers was seen working off to the side at Wednesday's practice, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Nabers showed up on the Giants' injury report last Thursday as a limited participant in practice due to a groin injury, then didn't practice Friday due a hip flexor injury. He still was able to suit up for Sunday's loss to the Saints, playing 73 of 78 offensive snaps and hauling in five of 10 passes for 79 yards. Nabers appears as though he'll be a limited participant, at best, to kick off Week 15 prep, but Wednesday's practice report ultimately will reveal his activity level.

Analysis: While it wasn't an efficient performance, Nabers led the Giants in receiving yards and tied for the team lead in catches with Tyrone Tracy and Daniel Bellinger. Nabers hasn't gotten into the end zone since Week 3, but the rookie wideout has caught at least five passes in six straight games despite the team's QB turmoil, posting a 41-392-0 line on 66 targets.

Could be limited if able to play
Nabers, who is questionable for Sunday's game against New Orleans due to a hip injury and a lingering groin issue, is expected to attempt to play but could be used in a limited role if he does suit up, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The Giants will likely want to assess Nabers during pregame warmups before deciding whether to make him active ahead of the 1 p.m. ET tilt against the Saints. It's not clear to what extent the rookie receiver would be limited if he does suit up, which puts his fantasy managers in a tough position in a critical week in many head-to-head leagues.

Analysis: Nabers was added to the injury report Thursday, listed with a recurring groin injury that's yet to cost him a game. The revelation of a new hip injury, even a relatively minor one, casts doubt upon his Week 14 availability, especially after downgrading from limited practice participation Thursday to non-participation Friday.

The latter apparently isn't much of a concern, as Thursday also marked his first full practice participation since entering concussion protocol in the closing minutes of a Week 4 loss to Dallas (Sept. 26).

Analysis: The rookie wideout was Daniel Jones' first read, and usually his only one, for most of the afternoon, as the rest of the Giants' pass catchers combined for only six catches on 10 targets for 51 yards. While a four-yard grab just before halftime gave Nabers his first career TD, it was one of the passes he couldn't haul in that will likely stick with him. On New York's final possession in the fourth quarter with the score tied 18-18, Nabers couldn't handle a sideline pass on fourth down that…read more

Clear for Week 2
Nabers (knee) practiced in full Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Washington, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports
Analysis: The Giants tacked on Nabers to their Week 2 injury report Thursday as limited due to a knee issue, but coach Brian Daboll spoke on the situation Friday, relaying the rookie wide receiver was "good," and there was "no concern" regarding his status, per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com. Indeed, that has come to pass, and Nabers will join Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton (concussion) and Jalin Hyatt as the top available WRs for QB Daniel Jones this weekend.

Expected to play
Coach Brian Daboll said Friday morning that Nabers (knee) is "good" and there's "no concern" about his status for Sunday's game at Washington, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The Giants added Nabers to the injury report Thursday as a limited participant, following his 5-66-0 line on seven targets in a season-opening loss to the Vikings. It sounds like the injury isn't serious and he'll be ready to play come Sunday, but it's still possible the Giants list Nabers on their final injury report Friday afternoon.

Tending to knee injury
Nabers was a limited participant at Thursday's practice due to a knee injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: With the addition of Nabers to the Giants' Week 2 injury report, two of the team's top three wide receivers now have a cloud hanging over their statuses ahead of Sunday's game at Washington. Fellow wideout Darius Slayton also was limited as he makes his way through the concussion protocol, leaving Wan'Dale Robinson and Jalin Hyatt as New York's healthiest options at the position. Friday's report may shed light on Nabers' potential to play going into the weekend.

Team's leading receiver in Week 1
Nabers had five catches for 66 yards on seven targets in Sunday's 28-6 loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: After failing to catch his first two targets, Nabers made his first catch late in the first quarter, finding a hole in Minnesota's zone defense to pick up 25 yards on third down. He finished with a team-high 66 receiving yards, but Wan'Dale Robinson led the Giants in both targets (12) and catches (six) despite finishing with only 44 yards. Daniel Jones didn't look down the field much as the Giants failed to get into the end zone, so while Nabers clearly looks like the most talented member of…read more

Four grabs against Houston
Nabers caught four of six targets for 54 yards and added one carry for five yards in Saturday's 28-10 preseason loss to the Texans.
Analysis: The rookie showed off his first-round talent on a spectacular 21-yard catch along the sideline during a two-minute drill at the end of the second quarter, as he pulled down a ball that was slightly overthrown with a leaping catch and got both feet down in bounds to help to set up a field goal. Nabers flashed some chemistry with Daniel Jones in their first game together, and the Giants are counting on the sixth overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft to be the elite downfield threat the franchise has…read more

Resumes practicing in full
Coach Brian Daboll said Thursday that Nabers (ankle) will be a full participant in practice, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
Analysis: Daboll also said there's "definitely a chance" Nabers plays in Saturday's preseason game against the Texans, per Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record. The rookie first-round pick suffered an ankle injury at practice Sunday, and despite initial concerns, Nabers has managed to work his way back from the sprain in quick fashion. During last week's preseason opener against the Lions, Nabers went without a target while playing on the game's first three drives. Daboll has stated that Daniel Jones will…read more

No concerns for Week 1
Nabers (ankle), who is not practicing Tuesday, said he has "no doubt" he'll be able to play in Week 1 and that his injury is "nothing serious," Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Coach Brian Daboll said Monday that Nabers is considered day-to-day after leaving Sunday's practice due to an ankle issue, and MRI and X-Ray tests revealed Tuesday that the rookie first-round pick has indeed avoided a serious issue. Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports that the issue is a sprain, which Nabers said won't need any support when he's ready to return to action. It's a relief that his availability for New York's regular-season opener against Minnesota on Sept. 8 isn't in…read more

Considered day-to-day
Coach Brian Daboll said Monday that Nabers (ankle) is "sore" and considered day-to-day, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports.
Analysis: Nabers reportedly sprained his ankle during Sunday's practice, and while he won't participate Monday, it sounds like the Giants aren't at all concerned about a lengthy absence. He played three drives in Thursday's preseason opener against the Lions, finishing without a target on 12 snaps.

Injury appears to be minor
The Giants believe Nabers, who exited practice early Sunday, is dealing with a minor ankle sprain, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Nabers took off his left shoe and limped to the sideline late in Sunday's practice, but Ranaan reports that the Giants don't seem too concerned about the issue at this point. If the initial belief that the rookie wideout is suffering from a minor sprain proves to be true, he could be held out for Saturday's preseason matchup at Houston, but the injury probably won't prevent Nabers from suiting up for Week 1 of the regular season. Of course, the organization isn't likely to take any chances with…read more

Limps off field during practice
Nabers exited Sunday's practice early and was seen limping at the end of the the Giants' team drills, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: It's not yet clear what caused the issue, but Nabers took off his left shoe and limped off the field before practice had ended, per Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News. Duggan notes that the rookie wideout didn't go to the locker room but was using a band to stretch his left ankle/foot while sitting on the sideline, and he was limping at the end of the session. Nabers is primed to be an integral part of New York's offense after the team drafted him sixth overall in the 2024 Draft, so it's…read more

No targets in preseason debut
Nabers wasn't targeted in Thursday's 14-3 preseason win over the Lions.
Analysis: Nabers played the first three drives of the Giants' preseason opener but didn't get any attention from Drew Lock, and the quarterback subsequently exited the game due to a hip injury. Per Jordan Raanan of ESPN, Nabers ran eight routes on his 12 snaps. The sixth overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft may ramp up his participation in the next preseason game against the Texans, but it will be hard to evaluate Nabers until he shares the field with starting quarterback Daniel Jones, who may not play in…read more

Slated to play Thursday
Nabers is in line to play in Thursday's preseason game against the Lions, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: ESPN reported early Thursday that Nabers would be among a number of Giants starters to not suit up for the team's exhibition opener, but the rookie first-round pick indeed will be available for up to the entire first quarter. Nabers has been ripping it up since arriving in New York as the sixth overall pick back in April, and Thursday will mark his first game action in the NFL.

Not scheduled to play Thursday
Nabers and other starters aren't expected to play in Thursday's preseason game against the Lions, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Raanan suggests the starters could play the following Saturday against Houston, although there's been nothing from the team to confirm that so far. Nabers has drawn rave reviews throughout training camp, apparently looking the part of a sixth overall pick (and then some).

Turning heads in training camp
Nabers has impressed during training camp thus far, Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Nabers immediately moved into the No. 1 receiver role when the Giants drafted him sixth overall in April, and he's so far done nothing to make anyone in the organization question his ability to handle that responsibility. Carroll notes that the 21-year-old has "shown off with highlight reel catches" "in nearly every practice," and offensive coordinator/assistant head coach Mike Kafka stated that the rookie has been "getting better and more comfortable" every day. Most recently, Nabers showed…read more
