Malik Nabers Hasn't Advanced To Next Stage Of Concussion Protocol
1 month agoNew York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (concussion) is in the "same" spot as Wednesday, according to head coach Brian Daboll, meaning he has not advanced to the next stage of the league's concussion protocol. There's still time for Nabers to clear the protocol, but his chances of playing on Sunday night against the Cincinnati Bengals is in doubt. Nabers didn't practice on Wednesday and will likely pick up another DNP on Thursday, which is bad news for fantasy managers that were expecting him back in Week 6 after he didn't get the green light to play in the Week 5 win over the Seattle Seahawks. The 21-year-old hasn't looked like a rookie at all in four games, catching a league-high 35 passes for 386 yards and three touchdowns. Nabers has already become a must-start in fantasy when he's active, but he could be on his way to a second straight missed game. UPDATE: Nabers did much less in practice on Thursday than on Wednesday in the portion of practice open to the media. He only rode an exercise bike on the side after running and doing more football-related drills on Wednesday.
