EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The NFL's leading receiver Malik Nabers is out this week against Seattle, Giants coach Brian Daboll said Friday.
Nabers, who has 35 catches in his rookie season to top the league, remains in concussion protocol and won't play when the Giants (1-3) face the Seahawks (3-1) on Sunday.
Nabers was making progress, Daboll said, “but he's not going to make it.”
Nabers was hurt in the fourth quarter of New York's loss to Dallas on Sept. 26. He missed practices on Wednesday and Thursday. Nabers must be cleared by an independent neurologist before he could return to the field.
Nabers, the No. 6 overall pick in the draft, has been the focal point of the offense. His 386 yards receiving are second in the NFL and he's tied for third with three touchdown receptions.
“You take those concussions very seriously,” Daboll said. “He's made progress, but not to the point where he can go out there and play. But his safety, his well-being is first and foremost.”
Nabers' absence could open the way for Jalin Hyatt to get more playing time. Hyatt is a second-year speedster out of Tennessee who has had a quiet season so far with only three targets in the first four games.
Hyatt is averaging roughly 13 plays, which is what Nabers is averaging in targets.
