Giants Expect Malik Nabers to Play Sunday After Shoulder Scare

Coaches say his availability will shape Jaxson Dart’s debut by driving a clearer plan to feature the Giants’ top target.

Overview

  • After sitting out Wednesday with a shoulder issue, Malik Nabers returned to practice Thursday, and Brian Daboll indicated he will be good for Sunday.
  • The Giants named first-round pick Jaxson Dart their Week 4 starter, setting up the rookie’s first NFL start against the Chargers.
  • Offensive coordinator Mike Kafka acknowledged the staff needs a better plan to prioritize Nabers following his career-low two catches for 13 yards versus the Chiefs.
  • Nabers has managed back and toe problems this season and has previously missed midweek work yet played on game day as the team manages his workload.
  • Sunday would mark Nabers’ fifth different starting quarterback in less than two seasons, heightening the urgency to fast-track chemistry with Dart.
