Malik Nabers makes his status clear after Giants injury scare: ‘I practiced!’

Malik Nabers returned to Giants practice on Friday after missing Thursday with knee discomfort, easing concern ahead of Sunday’s game against the Eagles. He said, “I practiced!”, and head coach John Harbaugh confirmed he would be available for the game, a boost for a Giants offence that relies heavily on him.

Nabers has recorded four consecutive 100-yard games, and quarterbacks coach Brian Callahan has urged rookie J.J. McCarthy to look for him and tight end Isaiah Likely. The Giants are also weighing defensive tackle options, while punt returner Charlie Jones, who has a broken-thumb history, is testing his injured hand; safety Jevon Holland could step in. For Philadelphia, Saquon Barkley is set to play, but DeVonta Smith is out.
