The New York Giants returned to the practice field on Wednesday morning in preparation for a Week 6 game against the Cincinnati Bengals at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
All eyes were understandably on rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers, who missed last Sunday’s victory over the Seattle Seahawks due to a concussion despite 10 days to heal.
As of Wednesday afternoon, Nabers remained in concussion protocol but did take a step forward as he worked outside with trainers for the first time.
“He is doing better,” head coach Brian Daboll told reporters, adding that Nabers is “day to day.”
Meanwhile, Daboll revealed that edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux is considered “week to week” with a wrist injury that required surgery on Wednesday morning. He is not expected to play in Week 6.
“I’m encouraged with what I’ve heard but, again, you never know,” Daboll said of Thibodeaux’s long-term prognosis.
