Nabers caught five of eight targets for 64 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Eagles. The rookie wideout appeared headed for a quiet afternoon until he connected with Drew Lock for a 45-yard score in the fourth quarter. Nabers led all first-year wide receivers with 109 receptions (and briefly held an NFL rookie record for all pass catchers with that total until Las Vegas tight end Brock Bowers, who finished with 112 catches, surpassed him later Sunday) in only 15 appearances, turning them into 1,204 yards and seven TDs on 170 targets -- second in the entire NFL in target volume behind Ja'Marr Chase's 175. Those numbers are even more impressive when you factor in the QB turmoil the Giants went through in 2024, and if the team can bring in a new long-term starter this offseason to develop some chemistry with Nabers, he could deliver truly elite numbers across the board in 2025.

Nabers (toe) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Nabers was added to the injury report Thursday as a limited participant, after playing through the same toe injury last week and putting up a 7-171-2 receiving line against Indianapolis. He'll close out his rookie season against a Philadelphia defense that's arguably been the best in the league this season but likely will be resting a lot of key players this week.
Nabers was listed as a limited participant in Thursday's practice due to a toe injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Nabers' name wasn't included Wednesday on the Giants' initial Week 18 injury report, but he had his reps capped Thursday on account of the same toe issue that kept him off the field for two practices a week ago and limited him in another. The rookie wideout ended up carrying a questionable tag into last weekend's 45-33 win over the Colts, but he suited up and finished with seven catches for a career-high 171 yards and two touchdowns on eight targets. The Giants haven't clarified whether Nabers' addition to the injury report Thursday was the result of an aggravation of the toe injury or a matter of maintenance, but either way, his status now bears watching heading into Sunday's season finale at Philadelphia.
Nabers caught seven of eight targets for 171 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 45-33 win over the Colts. Nabers' first catch of the game went for a 31-yard touchdown in the first quarter and raised his season total in receiving yards to exactly 1,000. He racked up 103 yards on four first-half catches, but the rookie's next target didn't come until the fourth quarter. Nabers got his hands on the ball again on a six-yard catch with 10:53 remaining, then outran the entire defense for a 59-yard touchdown three plays later. This career-best performance puts an exclamation point on what has been a sensational rookie season for the sixth overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft despite putrid play from the three-win team around him. Nabers will wrap up his first NFL campaign in Week 18 against the Eagles, who may rest key defensive starters.
Nabers (toe) is listed as active Sunday against the Colts, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Nabers has been a regular on Giants injury reports for much of the season, and a toe issue left him questionable for Week 17 action following just one limited practice Friday. Nevertheless, he'll continue to play through whatever health concern he's dealing with at the time. Nabers will be on the receiving end of passes from QB Drew Lock on Sunday, and while seeing double-digit targets the last four games from a trio of signal-callers, he's still managed a 30-298-1 line on 51 targets.
Nabers (toe), who is questionable for Sunday's Week 17 matchup versus Indianapolis, is likely to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. A toe issue held Nabers to a DNP/DNP/LP progression in practice this week, but it doesn't appear that the injury will prevent him from suiting up against the Colts. The rookie wideout will be chasing a few milestones if he does indeed play, as he's three catches away from 100 and 31 receiving yards way from 1,000 for the season. Nabers is also chasing Puka Nakua's NFL rookie record of 105 receptions, though Raiders first-year tight end Brock Bowers is even closer to the mark with 101 catches on the campaign.
Nabers (toe), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. According to Rapoport, Nabers "looked good" in his return to practice Friday as a limited participant. This report follows coach Brian Daboll telling Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site that he's "hopeful" the rookie wide receiver will be able to suit up this weekend. Ultimately, Nabers' status will be clarified about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.
Nabers (toe) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports. Nabers returned to practice Friday as a limited participant, after being listed as a non-participant Wednesday and Thursday and telling reporters he considers himself a game-day decision. The Giants and Colts are scheduled for a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, which means Nabers' availability, or lack thereof, will be known by 11:30 a.m. ET.
Head coach Brian Daboll noted that Nabers (toe) is in line to practice Friday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Per the report, Daboll is "hopeful" regarding the status of both Nabers (toe) and running back Tyrone Tracy (ankle) for Sunday's game against the Colts. Friday's final injury report will reveal the duo's official game designations, but Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com relayed Thursday that the wideout considers himself "game-day decision" for the Giants' 1:00 ET kickoff.
