News flash:’Gameday decision’ for Malik Nabers

New Jersey’s East Rutherford As his rookie season with the Giants comes to an end, Malik Nabers is on the verge of breaking multiple records. However, he could be unable to add to his already impressive numbers due to an injury.

 

And because of the team’s difficulties, he won’t be very happy when he hits those goals. Nabers was unable to participate in practice today due to a toe injury he sustained in Atlanta last week. When questioned about his status for Sunday’s Giants home game against the Indianapolis Colts, he sounded uncertain.

 

 

“I’m feeling fine,” he declared. “Gameday decision right now.” “I’m hoping so, it all depends on how it feels tomorrow,” Nabers responded when asked if he would be able to practice tomorrow. That’s the truth. Despite missing two games with a concussion, Nabers enters the season’s final two weeks with 97 catches for 969 yards. He needs three receptions to join Steve Smith (107 receptions in 2009) and Odell Beckham, Jr. (101 in 2016) as the only players in Giants history to reach the century mark. Nabers is fifth in the NFL in receptions. He needs 69 yards for the 26th 1,000-yard season in Giants history.

Saquon Barkley and Beckham shared the previous Giants rookie record of 91 catches, but Nabers has already surpassed it. He is unlikely to surpass the latter’s team rookie yardage record of 1,305 yards, even if he plays the final two games. However, in order to surpass the NFL rookie record of 105 established by the Rams’ Puka Nacua last season, Nabers, who averaged 7.5 receptions per game, needs nine more in the remaining two games. However, with 101 receptions, Las Vegas rookie tight end Brock Bowers is tied for second place in the league with Nacua, therefore Nacua’s mark might be reached before Nabers.

As for setting the record, I’m not sure because I see Brock up ahead of me at the moment. I will make every effort to obtain it, but if my body is not cooperating, I must leave this behind me, concentrate on my future, and keep working to improve the following year.”
