When it rains it pours — and the New York Giants are currently in the midst of a hurricane.
“Giants WR Malik Nabers has a hip flexor injury that happened in practice yesterday and he had to get an MRI,” FOX Sports NFL insider Jordan Schultz reported on December 6. “He will not practice [on Friday of Week 14].”
Schultz added that “a final determination on his game status will be made later [on December 6].”
As Schultz noted, the door is still open for Nabers to suit up on Sunday but in all likelihood, when a star player on a 2-10 team suffers a new injury on the Friday of a game week, said player is in serious danger of missing that upcoming matchup. The Giants are currently gearing up for a Week 14 battle with the New Orleans Saints, at home on December 8.
If Nabers is unable to go on Sunday, or inactive out of precaution, the Giants will likely give more offensive snaps to wide receivers Darius Slayton and Jalin Hyatt alongside slot specialist Wan’Dale Robinson.
