New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers will return in Week 7 after being cleared from concussion protocol. the team announced Thursday.
Nabers has been out since being injured during the Giants’ Week 4 loss to the Dallas Cowboys.
Late in the game, the Giants tried to make it on fourth down and Nabers tried to make a catch along the sideline. He did not arrive with the ball and remained lying down before being attended to by the team’s sports trainers.
The rookie receiver was then taken to the locker room for the rest of the game. He was later ruled out with a concussion.
Nabers missed the Giants’ win over the Seattle Seahawks in Week 5 and the loss to the Cincinnati Bengals last week. Despite missing two games, he is tied for fourth in the NFL in receptions (35) and tied for second with seven receptions of at least 20 yards or more.
