New York Giants star wide receiver Malik Nabers did not practice Wednesday due to a sore knee, calling it more "sore" than usual. He exited the team's first practice of the week and was seen sitting on a medicine ball speaking with trainers. Nabers, who tore his ACL last season and had a cleanup procedure earlier this year, has already returned to form with 208 receiving yards this season. The Giants could use him against the Washington Commanders on Sunday after losing Braxton Berrios to a season-ending foot injury.
Coach John Harbaugh was not overly concerned, stating Nabers was "doing great" and had a "great workday." When told Nabers described himself as sore, Harbaugh simply said, "I'll take him at his word then."
Nabers recently had his most productive game since his injury, catching six passes for 112 yards and a touchdown against the Arizona Cardinals. However, he was visibly frustrated after the game, expressing that he wasn't targeted much in the second half. Harbaugh acknowledged the need to implement more plays for Nabers after halftime.
