Nabers (toe) said after Thursday's practice that he views himself as a "gameday decision" for Sunday's tilt with the Colts, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports. Nabers has yet to practice this week while he manages a toe injury, but he said that he's aiming to get back on the field Friday for the Giants' final session of the week. If he's able to do so, it would alleviate some of the concern about his availability for Sunday, though Nabers would likely need to put in a full practice to avoid carrying a designation into the weekend. Despite being on the receiving end of subpar quarterback play for much of the season and also missing two games due to a concussion, Nabers has already recorded 97 catches, putting him and the Raiders' Brock Bowers (101 catches) in striking distance of besting the NFL rookie record of 105 receptions established by Puka Nacua in 2023.

Nabers (toe) said after Thursday's practice that he views himself as a "gameday decision" for Sunday's tilt with the Colts, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports. Nabers has yet to practice this week while he manages a toe injury, but he said that he's aiming to get back on the field Friday for the Giants' final session of the week. If he's able to do so, it would alleviate some of the concern about his availability for Sunday, though Nabers would likely need to put in a full practice to avoid carrying a designation into the weekend. Despite being on the receiving end of subpar quarterback play for much of the season and also missing two games due to a concussion, Nabers has already recorded 97 catches, putting him and the Raiders' Brock Bowers (101 catches) in striking distance of besting the NFL rookie record of 105 receptions established by Puka Nacua in 2023.
Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that Nabers (toe) won't practice Thursday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports. For the fourth week in a row, Nabers is on the Giants' injury report, but he may be more at risk of sitting out a game than he had been in either of the previous three weeks. After going down as a non-participant in practices Wednesday and Thursday, Nabers will have one more opportunity on Friday to potentially fit in some on-field work prior to Sunday's game against the Colts. Even if the rookie wideout is a limited participant in Friday's session, he would still be likely to carry a questionable tag into the weekend.
Nabers was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report due to a toe injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Nabers hasn't been a stranger to the injury report in his rookie campaign, but aside from missing Weeks 5 and 6 due to a concussion, he's been able to suit up on game days. Nonetheless, his status will be watched as the week goes on to get a sense of his odds to play Sunday against the Colts. Since the Giants' Week 11 bye, Nabers has gathered in 36 of 60 targets for 362 yards and one touchdown over the last five contests.
Nabers caught seven of 14 targets for 68 yards in Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Falcons. The rookie wideout lead the Giants in receiving yards and targets while tying Wan'Dale Robinson in receptions, but the team's passing game couldn't get much going on a day in which Drew Lock threw two pick-sixes. Nabers has dealt with a variety of lower-body issues in practice in recent weeks but hasn't missed a game since Week 6, and neither the nagging injuries nor the Giants' QB turmoil have slowed him down much -- he's seen double-digit targets in four straight games, posting a 30-298-1 line on 51 targets over that stretch. He sits 31 yards shy of 1,000 for the season, a milestone he'll look to reach in Week 17 against the Colts.
Nabers (knee/foot) practiced fully Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Nabers followed up a limited session Wednesday with full participation one day later, paving the way for the standout rookie to be available Sunday in Atlanta. He'll be taking on a Falcons defense that has allowed the fifth-most YPT (8.44) and most receiving touchdowns (20) to opposing wideouts in 14 games this season.
Nabers was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice due to knee and foot injuries, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports. Nabers has dealt with numerous health concerns during his rookie campaign, but the combination of knee and foot issues are new injuries for the wideout. Even with four different quarterbacks taking snaps for the Giants this season, he's reeled off a 90-901-4 receiving line on 140 targets through 12 games. Nabers' status thus will be one to monitor as the week goes on to ensure he'll continue to be available for Sunday's game in Atlanta.
Nabers secured 10 of 14 targets for 82 yards and a touchdown in the Giants' 35-14 loss to the Ravens on Sunday. Nabers led the Giants across the board in receiving categories while posting his third double-digit reception total of his career. The rookie sensation's numbers are all the more admirable considering the team's abysmal quarterback situation, which took another turn for the worse Sunday when Tim Boyle had to replace Tommy DeVito (concussion). Nabers could be working with any of Boyle, DeVito or Drew Lock (heel/elbow) in a Week 16 road matchup against the Falcons.
Nabers (hip) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Nabers missed last Friday's practice due to a hip flexor injury, but he still was active this past Sunday versus the Saints, earning 94 percent of snaps and gathering in five of 10 targets for 79 yards. He then kicked off this week with back-to-back limited listings with the same health concern before the Giants cleared him for Week 15 action. Nabers will be on the receiving end of passes from Tommy DeVito on Sunday with Drew Lock (heel/left elbow) doubtful to suit up.
Nabers (hip) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice. Nabers hasn't been a full participant in any of the Giants' last four practices, but he appears to be in a better spot in the health front this week. He's turned in a pair of limited practices to begin Week 15 prep, whereas he sat out last Friday's session entirely before being deemed questionable ahead of last Sunday's game against the Saints. Nabers ultimately suited up for a 14-11 loss to New Orleans and played 93 percent of the offensive snaps on his way to five receptions for 79 yards on 10 targets, and he apparently emerged from that contest no worse for the wear. Even if Nabers remains limited in the Giants' final practice of the week Friday and takes a designation into Sunday's game against the Ravens, he should still be in good position to play.
