Toe injury keeping Nabers off the field
Star wide receiver Malik Nabers is still not participating in more than walk-through periods of OTAs for the New York Giants due to a toe injury.
Head coach Brian Daboll said Thursday that Nabers is “progressing,” but will still not participate in individual or team drills.
Drafted No. 6 overall by the Giants last season, Nabers caught a franchise-record 109 passes for 1,204 yards. With a revamped quarterback position, the Giants are counting on another huge season from Nabers.
There was no word on whether Nabers would do more than walk-through periods during mandatory minicamp next week (June 17-18), or on whether he would be ready to be a full participant when training camp begins in late July.
The toe injury is reportedly one that Nabers has dealt with dating back to his college career at LSU.
“Nothing serious, but we’re being smart with him in terms of the rehab part of it,” Daboll said at the beginning or OTAs in regards to Nabers’ toe. “He’s had it for a while, back in college, too, so just trying to be smart.”
