Malik Nabers, the Giants’ rookie receiving sensation, will not make the trip to Seattle for Sunday’s game against the Seahawks, coach Brian Daboll said before practice on Friday.
Nabers suffered a concussion in the Sept. 26 loss to the Cowboys at MetLife Stadium and still is in the NFL’s concussion protocol, Daboll said.
Jalin Hyatt, who does not have a reception this season, figures to see his playing time increase in Nabers’ absence.
Nabers has 35 receptions for 386 yards and three touchdowns in his first four NFL games. He was the sixth overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
“He’s making progress, but he’s not going to make it,” Daboll said. “We’re always going to do what’s right. We take those concussions very seriously. He’s made progress but not to the point where he can go out there and play. His safety, his well-being, is first and foremost.”
