The Giants have ruled out wide receiver Malik Nabers for Sunday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks.
Nabers remains in concussion protocol after being injured in their Week 4 loss to the Dallas Cowboys.
Late in the game, the Giants went for it on fourth down and Nabers attempted to make a catch along the sideline. He did not come up with the ball and stayed down before being tended to by the team’s athletic trainers.
The rookie wideout was then taken to the locker room for the remainder of the game. He was later ruled out with a concussion.
Head coach Brian Daboll said this week that Nabers would get as much time as possible to have a shot to play against the Seahawks. But on Friday, Nabers was officially ruled out.
Each player who goes into concussion protocol must pass through five stages: Symptom Limited Activity, Aerobic Exercise, Football Specific Exercise, Club-Based Non-Contact Training Drills, Full Football Activity/Clearance. Recovery time will vary from player to player.
Through four weeks, Nabers has an NFL-best 35 receptions for 386 yards and three touchdowns.
