Paces pass catchers in loss
Nabers secured six of nine targets for 64 yards in the Giants' 30-7 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also committed a fumble recovered by New York.
Analysis: Nabers and the entire Giants offense struggled in the first half with Tommy DeVito sluggish in his first start since late last season. However, matters picked up in the second half with New York forced to go into pass-heavy mode, and Nabers ultimately finished as the team leader in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon. The talented rookie didn't seem to experience any ill effects from the groin injury that had popped up late in the practice week, and he could have a chance…read more

Suiting up Sunday
Nabers (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Nabers took a questionable tag into the weekend after he was first added to the Week 12 injury report Friday, when he sat out the Giants' final practice of the week due to the groin issue. Fortunately for the Giants, Nabers' absence from practice looks to have been mostly precautionary in nature, and he should be ready to handle his typical duties as the team's No. 1 wideout Sunday. For the first time all season, however, Nabers won't be working with Daniel Jones under center, as Tommy DeVito…read more

Seems likely for Sunday
Nabers (groin), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Buccaneers, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Nabers didn't practice Friday, but the Giants may just have held him out as a precaution, given that the rookie had previously been bothered by a groin issue at one point in October. While Nabers should be cleared to play in advance of the 1 p.m. ET kickoff and isn't expected to face any restrictions with his snaps, his fantasy outlook is more muddled this week with the Giants moving on from Daniel Jones and installing Tommy DeVito as their starting quarterback. The Buccaneers have one of the…read more

Status in question for Sunday
Nabers (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Nabers was absent from the open portion of Friday's practice and eventually went down as a non-participant due to a groin injury, according to Dan Duggan of The Athletic. He also tended to a groin issue back in Week 7 when he was attempting to return from the concussion protocol, but he's suited up in all four games in the meantime, combining for 26 catches (on 42 targets) for 221 yards and no touchdowns. In the locker room Friday, Nabers told Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com that he expects to play…read more

Dealing with groin injury
Nabers missed the media-access portion of Friday's practice because of a groin injury, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Duggan notes that the same thing happened Week 7 when Nabers was coming back from a concussion -- he cleared the protocol but had a groin injury added midweek on the Giants' practice report. He then took 93 percent of snaps in a 28-3 loss to the Eagles, catching four of eight targets for 41 yards. Nabers had at least 10 targets and six catches in three subsequent games, but without any TDs and no more than 71 yards in any of the contests. He now has the added challenge of a QB change with Tommy…read more

Targeted 10 times
Nabers recorded six receptions on 10 targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Panthers. He added one rush for minus-2 yards.
Analysis: Daniel Jones had only 54 passing yards at halftime, which predictably affected all of the Giants' pass catchers. Nabers managed to salvage his day in the second half while being primarily used in the short areas of the field, though he did pop a long catch of 19 yards early in the fourth quarter. He was also forced to miss a significant amount of the final quarter while undergoing a concussion evaluation, though he did return to the field. Nabers has now topped 60 yards only once in his last…read more

Nine second-half catches in loss
Nabers caught nine of 11 targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Commanders.
Analysis: Nabers didn't catch his only first-half target as Daniel Jones had zero passing yards at halftime. The rookie receiver came alive in the second half, as his team-high reception and yardage totals included a two-yard catch on which Nabers managed to stretch the ball out and just barely convert on fourth-and-2 in the third quarter. Nabers has totaled at least 11 targets in five of his first seven NFL games, and he'll likely stay busy when the Giants travel to Munich, Germany to face the Panthers…read more

Seven catches in prime time loss
Nabers secured seven of 13 targets for 71 yards in the Giants' 26-18 loss to the Steelers on Monday night.
Analysis: Nabers paced the Giants in targets by a wide margin while also serving as the team leader in receptions. The rookie took a positive step after a lackluster 4-41-0 receiving line against the Eagles in his Week 7 return from a two-game absence due to a concussion, but Nabers appears likely to be blocked from maximizing his considerable talents on most weeks due to the Giants' quarterback situation.

Four grabs in Week 7 loss
Nabers caught four of eight targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 28-3 loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: Seeing his first action since Week 4 after recovering from a concussion, Nabers had lackluster numbers but still led the Giants in receiving yards. although Wan'Dale Robinson saw one more target. It was the least productive performance of the rookie's young career. but assuming the Giants are a little more competitive in Week 8 against the Steelers, Nabers should return to the kind of volume he was getting before his injury -- 45 targets in his prior three games, which he turned into a mammoth…read more

No injury designation
Nabers (groin/concussion) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
Analysis: Nabers cleared concussion protocol Thursday, and while a groin issue limited his activity level during Friday's practice, it apparently isn't serious enough to warrant a designation on the final Week 7 injury report. He'll make his fifth appearance of the season Sunday, returning from a two-game absence.

Clears concussion protocol
Nabers (head, groin) cleared concussion protocol Thursday and is expected to play Sunday against the Eagles, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Nabers missed the past two games due to concussion symptoms and then had a groin injury added to Thursday's practice report. 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). Nabers will be back in action this Sunday as a target-hogging No. 1 receiver for the surprisingly competent Giants offense.

Dealing with second, minor injury
Nabers is listed with a groin injury and concussion on Thursday's injury report, although he was a full practice participant, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports.
Analysis: In other words, the groin injury isn't considered serious. The big question is still whether Nabers will clear concussion protocol before Sunday's matchup with the Eagles, after missing the past two games. Thursday marked his first full practice getting injured in the closing minutes of a loss to the Cowboys on Sept. 26.

Even if Nabers is listed as at least a limited participant on Wednesday's practice report, he'll still likely need to upgrade to full activity Thursday and/or Friday in addition to gaining clearance from an independent neurologist before he's removed from the concussion protocol.

He's been doing some physical activity this week, but reports didn't exactly hint at much progress, suggesting he did less Thursday than Wednesday.

Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that Nabers (concussion) is day-to-day and will get some work in on the side at practice Wednesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Daboll said Nabers is "doing better," but the rookie first-round pick still hasn't progressed enough through the NFL's concussion protocol to do anything more at practice than working with trainers on the side field. Still, Nabers is making progress after not having been able to practice in any capacity prior to being ruled out for New York's win over the Seahawks in Week 5.

Four plays after making a spectacular catch for a 28-yard gain down the sideline, Nabers capped that drive with an even better catch for a three-yard touchdown, on which the rookie displayed tremendous body control to get both feet down before his hand touched out of bounds as he was falling down.

Huge volume in Sunday's loss
Nabers caught 10 of 18 targets for 127 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Commanders.

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.
