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

Malik Nabers ran off the field and yelled “I practiced!” almost loud enough for fans in Philadelphia to hear.  Get texts from Paul Schwartz with all the latest Giants news and insights, exclusive to Sports+ subscribers.After his absence from Thursday’s practice because of knee discomfort caused some unrest among Giants fans, Nabers was back Friday and didn’t want anyone to have to wait two extra hours until the release of the injury report to know that he is ready to face the Eagles on Sunday. “It’s not an issue,” head coach John Harbaugh said.

With Chauncey Golston sidelined, Darius Alexander, C.J.Okoye and Bobby Jamison-Travis are trying to find footing. “You have to trust that the people upstairs and Harbaugh are going to make the best decisions,” Harris said.

“You can’t dwell on those decisions.We’re just trying to win.

It doesn’t matter if I play 50 snaps, 20 snaps or five snaps.” If catching a punt isn’t hard enough already, try doing it with one healthy hand. Charlie Jones (questi...
