Malik Nabers sits Thursday practice with a knee issue

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers did not practice Thursday because of his knee, the team's Week 9 injury report confirmed. Underdog NFL and Giants beat writer Jordan Raanan both logged the DNP after Nabers spent parts of the session working with trainers on the side. Yahoo Sports and Big Blue View carried the same official listing.

Nabers said afterward he will be "good" for Sunday's game at the Philadelphia Eagles, per Raanan and Art Stapleton. That quote matters more than the Thursday designation right now. He is coming off a strong October that earned him NFC Offensive Player of the Month honors, and he is past the torn ACL that wiped out most of his 2025 season. A single midweek DNP with an optimistic self-assessment is not a Friday rule-out.

Running back Cam Skattebo (hamstring) missed practice for a third straight day, which raises the odds he sits Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field. If he is out, Devin Singletary and Gregory Desrosiers are on the 53-man roster, with Phil Mafah and Eric Gray on the practice squad. Offensive coordinator Matt Nagy stressed keeping the run game efficient no matter who carries the ball. Edge defender Abdul Carter (illness) returned to practice Thursday after missing Monday and Wednesday.

For RSO owners, keep Nabers locked into starting lineups unless Friday's report flips to out or doubtful. Treat the knee tag as a monitor, not a bench order, given his own comments. Skattebo managers should have Singletary queued as the handcuff and be ready to stream if Friday confirms another Skattebo absence. Do not drop Nabers on one Thursday DNP.

What to watch next: Friday's final injury report and any designation change for Nabers or Skattebo before kickoff in Philadelphia. A second Nabers DNP or a limited-to-out swing would change the start decision. Until then, plan on Nabers playing and have a Skattebo contingency ready.
