Giants Rookie Malik Nabers Returns to Practice Ahead of Preseason Game

New York Giants coach Brian Daboll confirmed that rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers is back on the practice field, a promising development for the team's offense as they prepare for their second preseason game against the Houston Texans. After being diagnosed with a low ankle sprain, Nabers' quick return—just four days post-injury—indicates he may be available to play this Saturday. “We’ll go through practice and figure it out like we normally do,” Daboll stated, expressing optimism about Nabers' participation. Quarterback Daniel Jones noted that Nabers appeared to be in good form during practice, further enhancing the team's hopes for his early contributions this season. In addition to Nabers, rookie running back Tyrone Tracy also showed encouraging signs of recovery. After suffering what initially seemed to be a serious lower leg injury during practice, Tracy was diagnosed with a low ankle sprain and is now considered week-to-week. His participation in individual drills just two days after the incident has been a positive sign for the Giants. In a separate injury update, safety Elijah Riley has been placed on injured reserve due to a concussion. This comes as the Giants recently signed two new safeties, Raheem Layne and Jonathan Southerland, to bolster their defensive lineup. Meanwhile, quarterback Drew Lock, who is dealing with a hip issue, will be in uniform for the game but is not expected to play.
