Malik Nabers will not play Sunday against the Seahawks in Seattle, Brian Daboll announced before Friday’s practice.
The Giants’ dynamic rookie receiver is progressing through the concussion protocol but will not be able to gain clearance from an independent neurological consultant by kickoff.
Nabers will not make the cross-country trip either.
It’s a big task for the Giants offense to replace not only his 35 catches for 386 yards and three touchdowns, but also his NFL-high target share.
Jalin Hyatt will step into the starting lineup, but it will put even more responsibility on the connection between quarterback Daniel Jones and his second-favorite target Wan’Dale Robinson.
