Nubin tallied seven tackles (five solo) in Sunday's loss to Minnesota. Nubin got the start at strong safety for New York and played all 55 of the team's defensive snaps. Meanwhile, Dane Belton -- who had at one point appeared to have won the starting role at the position -- played just nine defensive snaps, though it's not clear if the back injury that bothered him throughout the practice week contributed to his limited usage. Regardless, Nubin performed well in his first NFL game and appears set to be a key part of the team's defensive backfield moving forward.

Nubin tallied seven tackles (five solo) in Sunday's loss to Minnesota. Nubin got the start at strong safety for New York and played all 55 of the team's defensive snaps. Meanwhile, Dane Belton -- who had at one point appeared to have won the starting role at the position -- played just nine defensive snaps, though it's not clear if the back injury that bothered him throughout the practice week contributed to his limited usage. Regardless, Nubin performed well in his first NFL game and appears set to be a key part of the team's defensive backfield moving forward.
Nubin may have the opportunity to start at free safety Sunday against the Vikings with Dane Belton (back) currently questionable, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports. Nubin was believed to have lost the competition to Belton for the role, but he may have the opportunity to seize it after all, with the latter limited in practice this week.
Nubin (calf) returned to practice Thursday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports. Nubin had been out of action since first missing practice Friday. The Giants' 2024 second-round selection's return to the field should see him competing for a role in the team's secondary. He is currently listed behind Dane Belton at strong safety on the team's depth chart.
Head coach Brian Daboll told reporters that Nubin (calf) will miss Monday's practice, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports. The 2024 second-round pick out of Minnesota has been hindered by both ankle and calf injuries to begin his NFL career. During Nubin's last three collegiate seasons, the defensive back racked up 160 total tackles and 12 interceptions (five in 2023) across 36 games. Once the rookie returns to full health, he's expected to compete with Dane Belton for the Giants' top strong safety spot, per Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post. If Nubin wins that job, he could be a valuable IDP piece in 2024.
Nubin is missing practice Friday due to an ankle injury, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports. Fortunately for the Giants and Nubin, the issue isn't considered to be serious. He probably won't be out long, but until Nubin is back in playing shape, 2022 fourth-rounder Dane Belton figures to see more opportunities to make an impression during team drills.
