Giants Malik Nabers update isnt promising as Devin Singletary adds to injury woes

The Giants could be without almost all their production on offense on Sunday.Head coach Brian Daboll did not have much of an optimistic update Wednesday on rookie receiver Malik Nabers, who suffered a concussion during the team’s 20-15 loss to the Cowboys on Thursday night.Nabers is not yet doing any physical activity during practice and is still in the “early stages” of the NFL’s concussion protocol.Given that Nabers has had extra time with the Giants last playing on Thursday, that he’s barely progressed in the protocol is worrying.Nabers, whom the Giants selected with the No.

6 pick in the draft, suffered the injury late in the fourth quarter of Thursday’s loss.He tried to keep his feet in bounds while making a catch near the sidelines, but failed to do so and subsequently hit his head on the ground.“The guys that are out here practicing will go ahead and take [Nabers’] reps,” Daboll said.

“That will give Jalin [Hyatt] more reps today than he’s had in practice.Everybody’s got to be ready to go.”Nabers has carried much of the offense so far.

He leads the NFL with 35 receptions, is second with 386 receiving yards and tied for third with three receiving touchdowns.Nabers’ 35 receptions is the second-highest four-game total to start a career in league history, according to Elias Sports Bureau.In total, the Giants have 881 receiving yards, meaning Nabers’ 386 represent 43.8 percent of the team’s total.If he can’t play Sunday, second-year receiver Jalin Hyatt – last year’s third-round pick – should elevate into a bigger role.

Hyatt’s lack of playing time has emerged as one of the biggest early-season storylines – he has no catches this year and has only been targeted three times, only playing 19 percent of the team’s snaps on offense.And running back Devin Singletary’s status for Sunday is also now uncertain.He did not practice on Wednesday as he is dealing with a groin injury he suffered during Thursday’s loss.Singl...
