Rookie Malik Nabers, who leads the NFL in receptions after four games, missed the New York Giants practice on Wednesday because of a concussion.
Coach Brian Daboll said the No. 6 overall pick in the draft was still in the early stages of the concussion protocol and his status for Sunday’s game in Seattle against the Seahawks (3-1) is uncertain.
Nabers was hurt late in the 20-15 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday. He had a career-best 12 catches for 115 yards before being hurt trying to catch a pass in front of the Giants’ bench.
“We’ll just take it day by day with him,” Daboll said before the Giants (1-3) held their first practice since the game. “Really, other than that, I have no update other than he’s in the protocol and just hope he continues to get better.”

Nabers has 35 receptions, five more than No. 2 Nico Collins of the Houston Tezans. The LSU product is second with 386 yards and tied for third with three touchdown receptions. He is the first player in the NFL to have that combination of numbers through his four games.
His 35 receptions are the second-highest four-game total to start a career. Puka Nacua of the Rams had 39 catches in his first four games in 2023.
Second-year receiver Jalin Hyatt will get more work in practice with the first team, Daboll said.
Starting running back Devin Singletary (groin) also did not practice, although with cornerbacks Dru Phillips and Adoree Jackson, who had calf injuries against the Browns in Week 3.
