Giants limit Malik Nabers' practice reps but expect him to be ready for Week 9

The New York Giants listed Malik Nabers as a limited participant in Thursday’s practice, noting that he spent time working with trainers rather than taking part in full-team drills. The team has occasionally reduced Nabers’ repetitions this season, but officials said his availability for the Week 9 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles is not in doubt.

"I’m good to go for Week 9," Nabers told reporters after practice.

The Giants’ coaching staff confirmed that Nabers, the team’s primary wide receiver, is fully dressed in his usual practice attire and will be monitored closely. He has been involved in route-running drills with his position group and is expected to be on the active roster for the upcoming game.

Earlier reports indicated that Nabers experienced soreness in his surgically repaired knee, but he said the discomfort typically improves as the week progresses. The team will continue to assess his condition before finalizing the game-day roster.

Other injury updates from the league included limited participation for Alvin Kamara (back), Myles Garrett (knee), and several other players, but those details are separate from the Giants’ assessment of Nabers.
