New York Giants WR Malik Nabers can’t remember suffering concussion

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers has cleared the NFL’s concussion protocol this week and will play on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Nabers missed two games after getting off to a historic start to his NFL career. He was injured late in the Giants’ Week 4 loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

Nabers told reporters on Friday that he could not recall getting injured.

“It was scary when I couldn’t remember what happened,” Nabers said, via ESPN. “I can’t remember the last play I was in, so yeah, it was kind of scary.

“Last thing I remember was [Daniel Jones] throwing me the ball. That was it.”

Nabers is fine now, however, but did end up back on the Giants’ injury report on Friday with a groin injury.

“It tightened up on him a little bit yesterday (Thursday), so we took him out,” Giants head coach Brian Daboll said before Friday’s practice. “He practiced for most of the practice. But then he tightened up, so we took him out and put him on the injury report.”

Nabers was able to practice in full on Friday and is expected to line up Sunday afternoon against the hated Eagles.

Nabers had 35 receptions for 386 yards and three touchdowns on 52 targets before getting injured.
