Malik Nabers sidelined from Giants-Dolphins joint practice
The Giants are keeping star receiver Malik Nabers off the field in Thursday's uncontrolled joint session with Miami, continuing a cautious approach to his camp workload.
New York is taking a measured approach with its top wideout. Malik Nabers was not part of the Giants' joint practice against the Dolphins on Thursday, and the team is not yet comfortable putting him into an uncontrolled environment.
Paul Schwartz (@NYPost_Schwartz): Malik Nabers is not participating in the Giants-Dolphins joint practice. Giants won't yet put Nabers on the field in uncontrolled environment.
The decision reflects a broader trend this summer: the Giants have been deliberate about Nabers' reps, shielding him from the chaotic, full-contact nature of joint workouts even as the team ramps up its preseason preparation. Nabers remains the centerpiece of New York's passing game, so the cautious handling is less about a new setback and more about preserving him for the games that count.
The Giants and Dolphins worked through a chippy, fight-filled session in South Florida, but New York kept its No. 1 target on the sideline throughout.
