Malik Nabers is officially good to go for Sunday’s game against the Commanders, and honestly, the guy wants the ball. After letting the team know he’d like more shots in his direction, he’s got the green light to prove why he deserves them.
Nabers Shakes Off the Knee Scare
Talk about a quick turnaround, right? Nabers initially missed practice on Wednesday because of a sore knee. You hear that, and you immediately start to sweat, wondering if your playmaker is out. But he didn’t stay sidelined for long. By Thursday, he was back out there in a limited capacity, and come Friday? Full participation. Now, he’s got no injury designation heading into this NFC East showdown. That’s huge for the Giants offense if they’re ready to really let him cook.
Giants Get Key Pieces Back Too
It’s not just Nabers getting good news, either. Running back Cam Skattebo, who was dealing with a shoulder issue, is off the final report. Same for tight end Isaiah Likely, who had a knee and groin problem, and left tackle Andrew Thomas, who was also nursing a groin injury. That’s a solid chunk of players getting healthy right when you need them. On the flip side, they will be without defensive lineman Chauncey Golston (neck) and safety Jason Pinnock (concussion), both ruled out.
So, Sunday against the Commanders? Keep an eye on Nabers. He’s made it clear he wants more targets, and now that he’s healthy, it’s time to see if the Giants are going to feed their man. You gotta think he’s fired up to make some plays.
