NFL News: Giants reveal unexpected injury update on Malik Nabers ahead of game vs Saints

New York Giants have released the injury report, which includes an eye-catching update on rookie Malik Nabers ahead of the NFL season’s Week 14 game against the New Orleans Saints.

In the last hours the alarm bells went off in the New York Giants, who released a surprising injury update about star Malik Nabers, being a relevant information for the game of week 14 of the 2024 NFL season against the New Orleans Saints.

The Giants host the Saints with the primary goal of getting into a rhythm for the upcoming season, as the New York franchise holds an unimpressive 2-10 record. This game pits two teams with negative records against each other.

During the week, Brian Daboll confirmed the news at the position of quarterback, stating that Drew Lock will be the starting QB for the game against New Orleans franchise. With that out of the way, the focus now shifts to wide receiver and Nabers’ fitness.

Brian Daboll told ESPN that Nabers’ presence in the game against the Saints is an unknown. “We’re hopeful he’ll be able to play, but I can’t say whether he will or not.” The loss of the rookie receiver would be a sensitive one for the Giants, as Nabers’ 11.6 targets per game lead the NFL.
