Why isn’t Malik Nabers playing for the Giants against the Bengals? NFL Week 6 injury status
The Giants take on the Bengals today, Sunday, with kickoff at 8:20 p.m. Here’s how the Giants’ injury list is looking.
Malik Nabers, the New York Giants standout rookie wide receiver, picked sixth overall by the Giants in the 2024 NFL Draft, will be out for today’s game against the Bengals (kickoff at 8:20 p.m. ET).
Nabers out with concussion
Nabers is still recovering from concussion, having suffered the injury in the fourth quarter of the Giants week 4 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. He missed the week 5 game against the Seattle Seahawks.
Nabers absence is a blow to the Giants’ offense, as he was one of their primary weapons on offense, leading the team with 35 receptions for 386 yards and three touchdowns.
While Nabers is out with concussion, he did manage to attend a Travis Scott concert this week, something that Giants’ head coach Brian Daboll refused to discuss, but was clearly not entirely happy.
In Nabers’ absence Wan’Dale Robinson will be the main target man for the Giants.
