Overview
- The biggest development is that Malik Nabers practiced fully with the Giants in pads on Wednesday, a milestone reported by multiple outlets that puts him on track to play Sunday.
- Coach John Harbaugh said after that practice “I think he’s ready to go” but refused to confirm lineups or starters for competitive reasons.
- Nabers himself gave mixed signals, telling reporters he will decide if he plays because it is his body and career while also deferring some control to the team’s process.
- The Giants’ release of veteran Darius Slayton and recent roster moves have been interpreted by analysts as a signal the club expects Nabers to be available.
- If activated on Friday’s game-day report, the Giants plan to manage his workload with a limited snap plan to protect his surgically repaired ACL and meniscus and ease him back into full duty.
