In the world of American football, the New York Giants have been dealing with a mix of injuries to key players, but there is some good news on the horizon. Wide receiver Malik Nabers is edging closer to a return to action for the Giants, according to head coach Brian Daboll.
During a press conference on Thursday, Daboll informed reporters that Nabers will be ramping up his participation in practice. Nabers has been sidelined for the past two games due to a concussion, but his increasing workload is a promising sign that he may soon be cleared from the concussion protocol.
In addition to Nabers’ positive progress, there were updates on a couple of other players dealing with injuries. Edge rusher Brian Burns and defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence are both expected to miss practice for the second consecutive day. Despite expressing confidence on Wednesday that they will be able to suit up against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, a potential return to practice on Friday would provide further indication of their readiness.
Meanwhile, cornerback Adoree’ Jackson is now listed on the injury report due to a neck issue and will be sidelined from practice as well.
The Giants will be anxiously monitoring the health status of these key players as they prepare for their upcoming game. With Nabers nearing a return and the potential for Burns, Lawrence, and Jackson to make progress in their recoveries, the team is hoping to have a full arsenal of weapons at their disposal for their upcoming matchup.
Stay tuned for further updates on the Giants’ injury situation as they continue to navigate through a challenging stretch of the season.
