Giants' Malik Nabers: Targeted 10 times
Malik 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.Daniel Jones had only 54 passing yards at halftime, which predictably affected all of the New York 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 four games, though he has double-digit targets in each of his last three contests and will remain the focal point of New York's offense.

Giants' Malik Nabers: Nine second-half catches in loss
Malik Nabers caught nine of 11 targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Commanders.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 New York Giants travel to Munich, Germany to face the Panthers in Week 10.

Giants' Malik Nabers: Seven catches in prime time loss
Malik Nabers secured seven of 13 targets for 71 yards in the New York Giants' 26-18 loss to the Steelers on Monday night.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. Nabers' next opportunity to impress comes in a Week 9 home matchup against an improving Commanders defense.

Giants' Malik Nabers: Four grabs in Week 7 loss
Malik Nabers caught four of eight targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 28-3 loss to the Eagles.Seeing his first action since Week 4 after recovering from a concussion, Nabers had lackluster numbers but still led the New York 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 30-320-3 line.

Malik Nabers (groin/concussion) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.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.

Giants' Malik Nabers: Clears concussion protocol
Malik Nabers (head, groin) cleared concussion protocol Thursday and is expected to play Sunday against the Eagles, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.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 New York Giants offense.

Giants' Malik Nabers: In final stage of protocol
New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Thursday that Malik Nabers (concussion) is in the final stage of the NFL's concussion protocol and will be listed as a full participant in practice, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.Daboll said the hope is for Nabers to gain clearance from an independent neurologist in time to suit up for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Eagles, per Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record, while Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com confirms that the wideout will be listed as a full participant on Thursday's practice report. The rookie first-round pick was listed as limited Wednesday after having missed back-to-back games.

Malik Nabers (concussion) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Dan Salomone of the New York Giants' official site reports.After missing two games as a result of the concussion he suffered at the end of a loss to the Cowboys on Sept. 26, Nabers was back on the practice field Wednesday while donning a red non-contact jersey, per Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic.

Giants' Malik Nabers: Set for non-contact practice
New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that Malik Nabers (concussion) has made "good progress" and will practice Wednesday while wearing a non-contact jeresey, Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic reports.Daboll said Nabers is "much better," and the rookie first-round pick will be set to handle his first reps at practice since having suffered a concussion Sept. 26 in a loss to the Cowboys. 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. If cleared, Nabers shouldn't face any limitations during Sunday's game against the Eagles.
