One full week of NFL preseason action is in the books, and there’s plenty to talk about.
Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Tuesday Malik Nabers won’t practice yet again, this time in joint sessions with the Jets, and this is becoming a bigger thing by the day. Nabers hasn’t practiced since leaving practice on Aug. 6, which he said at the time was part of “the process.”

What’s more, Daboll wouldn’t answer questions Tuesday about whether Nabers requires additional tests on his toe at this point. Nabers has dealt with a lingering toe injury since college, which he’s acknowledged might ultimately require surgery, but said earlier in camp the Giants have a “great” day-to-day management plan for it.

Russell Wilson reportedly struggled without his top target, going 2 of 8 with “several sacks,” per ESPN’s Jordan Raanan, prior to the final period of drills. That said, he was facing the Jets’ defense, which could be among the league’s best.
This is all about his availability for the regular season, so while fans (and Nabers himself) may have been looking forward to potential matchups vs. All-Pro cornerback sauce Gardner in joint practices with the jets, the Giants aren’t going to risk it if they don’t have to. Nabers caught 109 passes for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns in just 15 games last season as a rookie, and this was with suspect quarterback play.
