New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers has been held out of practice for 11 consecutive days with what team and ESPN sources describe as a minor back issue. The injury, characterized as routine "camp tightness," has already ruled the 22-year-old out of the club’s first two preseason games. Head coach Brian Daboll has declined to offer a timetable, saying only that Nabers is "working hard to get back." Local reports indicate the Giants are unlikely to risk playing the second-year Pro Bowler in Thursday’s final preseason contest against the New England Patriots, leaving the Sept. 7 regular-season opener at Washington as the primary target for his return. Nabers emerged last year as the sixth overall draft pick, posting 109 receptions for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns despite missing two games. The back ailment follows a series of offseason issues—including turf toe and a concussion—that have limited his on-field work since spring workouts.
