Nubin (back) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Nubin logged a week of limited practice sessions due to a back injury following the Giants' Week 11 bye, but it now appears he'll play through the issue Sunday.

He's expected to line up alongside Jason Pinnock as part of the Giants' top safety duo in Week 12.

Rotowire
Nubin tallied seven tackles (five solo) in Sunday's loss to Minnesota.
Nubin got the start at strong safety for New York and played all 55 of the team's defensive snaps. Meanwhile, Dane Belton -- who had at one point appeared to have won the starting role at the position -- played just nine defensive snaps, though it's not clear if the back injury that bothered him throughout the practice week contributed to his limited usage. Regardless, Nubin performed well in his first NFL game and appears set to be a key part of the team's defensive backfield moving forward.

Giants' Tyler Nubin: Fills safety need for Big Blue
Rotowire
The Giants selected Nubin in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 47th overall.
Safety is one of the weaker positions in this class, and Nubin is the first to come off the board in the middle of the second round. It's a strong value for the Giants, as they get the best safety in the class after losing Xavier McKinney in free agency this offseason. Nubin got by on impressive instincts at Minnesota with 13 career interceptions. He didn't test at the NFL Combine due to a knee issue and only ran a 4.59 in the 40 at the Gopher pro day, so teams could test his speed down the field. His 207 career tackles show a willingness to get his nose dirty and play the run, which is a strong complement to his coverage chops.
