The New York Giants enter their Week 14 matchup against the New Orleans Saints battered and bruised by injuries, including one to Malik Nabers.

Currently leads all rookies in receiving yards per game is at a historic pace Through his first ten career games, Nabers was as advertised as the Giants used the No. 6 overall pick to get him.

In 10 games (nine starts), Nabers has 75 receptions for 740 yards and three touchdowns. Despite missing two games due to a concussion, Nabers ranks fourth among rookie wideouts in receiving yards behind only Brock Bowers (884), Ladd McConkey (815) and Brian Thomas Jr. (765).

Although Nabers has dealt with a groin injury for much of his rookie season, it hasn’t kept him off the field. However, he appeared on the injury report after Thursday’s practice with what was labeled a hip flexion injury.

Nabers did not practice Friday and was tagged questionable on the team’s final injury report.

Here’s the latest update on the Giants star’s Week 14 injury:

Malik Naber’s injury update

Although Nabers is dealing with a “sore hip flexor,” he reportedly has a realistic chance of playing against the Saints despite not practicing late in the week. according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

Rapoport also reported that Nabers “is pushing to go and will warm up to see if it’s possible.”

It sounds far from a guarantee that Nabers will be able to play in Sunday’s game, and it wouldn’t be a surprise if the Giants hold him out as a precaution considering they have a 2-10 record and are competing for the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL 2025 Draft.

It seems questionable at this point whether Nabers will play, but the Giants will release their list of inactive players at 11:30 a.m. ET ahead of the game against the Saints.
