Giants head coach provides update on former LSU wide receiver Malik Nabers after injury
After a shoulder injury earlier this week, New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers is "good" and will return to practice on Wednesday, per head coach Brian Daboll. ESPN's Adam Schefter made the report on Wednesday.
The former LSU football star suffered the injury during Tuesday's practice. He grabbed at his shoulder following a run block and went to the ground. After walking off the field under his own power, he met with the team's athletic trainer and didn't return to practice.
The ailment adds to Nabers' ongoing toe injury that dates back to his days in Baton Rouge. It held him out of organized team activities (OTAs) earlier in the offseason, and he spoke about staying on top of it during an interview on the "Up & Adams" show Monday.
Nabers will enter his second professional season after a No. 6 overall selection by the Giants in the 2024 NFL Draft. He was a front-runner for last year's offensive rookie of the year honor after accumulating 1,204 receiving yards and seven touchdowns on 109 receptions.
Despite dealing with a revolving door at the quarterback position, Nabers averaged 11 yards per catch and was a bright spot in an otherwise dull offense. The Giants brought in Russel Wilson, Jameis Winston, and fellow rookie Jaxon Dart to compete for the starting quarterback role.

Ex-LB compares Davante Adams and Puka Nacua pairing to another star NFL duo
Much has been written about the new combination of Puka Nacua and Davante Adams with the Los Angeles Rams. Both are widely productive pass-catchers and make the L.A. offense even more formidable than it already was under Sean McVay. But for former NFL linebacker Mant'i Te'o, the duo is even scarier than advertised. He told The Rich Eisen Show this week that the Adams deal is the "most dangerous signing for a defender" because of what he brings to the offense. Te'o explained that Nacua and ex-Rams receiver Cooper Kupp played the positions similarly. Adams, meanwhile, gives the Rams a "true X receiver" akin to what the Cincinnati Bengals have with Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. Teo said that Nacua is the Chase-esque player who can be moved around the line of scrimmage, while Adams is more of a Higgins-style player that can run up field and catch the ball over anyone. That, in combination with Matthew Stafford and Kyren Williams, is "scary" on offense, according to Te'o. This is what the Rams were going for when they swapped Kupp for Adams this offseason. While Adams is already 32, he's been a prolific pass-catcher his entire career and can now unlock levels of the offense that Kupp couldn't in his previous role with the team. The hope now is that Adams can elevate the team from playoff to Super Bowl contender in 2025.
