Star wide receiver Malik Nabers and starting running back Devin Singletary again missed practice for the New York Giants on Thursday. That strengthened the possibility that the Giants will be without two key offensive play-makers on Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks.
Nabers, who suffered a concussion last Thursday against the Dallas Cowboys, has been targeted 52 times this season. That averages 13.0 targets per game, easily the most in the NFL. Nabers with 35 receptions for 386 yards, is on pace to shatter franchise records for receptions (107, Steve Smith) and yards receiving (1,536, Victor Cruz).
If Nabers can’t play, second-year wide receiver Jalin Hyatt will likely have to step into a prominent role. A third-round pick in 2023, Hyatt has been targeted just three times this season without a catch.
Singletary, who has a groin injury, has not missed a game since 2019. That durability is one of the reasons he was signed to replace Saquon Barkley this offseason. How ironic would it be if Singletary misses time before Barkley, who had a long history of injuries with the Giants?
Head coach Brian Daboll said Singletary would work off to the side with the trainign staff.
Cornerbacks Dru Phillips and Adoree’ Jackson, who missed Week 4 with calf injuries, were expected to practice in some fashion.
