Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers sat out Wednesday’s practice, citing a knee injury that left him feeling unusually sore, according to an ESPN report.

The 27‑year‑old, who has been a consistent threat on the field, said he was more "sore" than usual and opted to skip the session to avoid aggravating the injury. ESPN noted that he did not provide a specific diagnosis, but the decision to miss practice underscores the seriousness of the discomfort.

Nabers has been a key component of the Giants’ passing attack, ranking among the team’s top receivers in recent seasons. His absence from practice raises questions about his availability for the upcoming home game against the Philadelphia Eagles, a matchup that could hinge on the Giants’ offensive production. The coaching staff will need to assess whether he can return to full contact or if adjustments will be made to the game plan.

As the team moves forward, doctors and trainers will monitor Nabers’ knee to determine a safe timeline for his return. If he can resume full practice within the next week, he may be ready for the next game, but the Giants will likely keep a close eye on his progress to protect his long‑term health.
