Giants' wide receiver Malik Nabers is listed as day-to-day following an injury during Sunday's practice. The extent of the injury is still being evaluated, but Nabers has not been ruled out for the team's upcoming preseason game against the Texans on Saturday.

During Sunday's practice, Nabers went down while running, prompting the trainers to attend to him. He took off his left shoe as they assessed his condition and spent the remainder of the practice off his feet. Despite limping back to the locker room, Nabers' injury does not appear to be a worst-case scenario fracture, as confirmed by head coach Brian Daboll.

On Monday, Daboll stated that Nabers was experiencing some soreness, which led the team to take a cautious approach and give him some rest. Nonetheless, once Nabers is cleared to return, Daboll does not intend to hold him out of practices. Instead, the coach believes that the dynamic rookie receiver will benefit from additional time on the field, helping to ease his learning curve.

Nabers' injury occurred when he got "twisted up" while running, but fortunately, he did not get stepped on. While the evaluation continues, the Giants will monitor his progress closely and make decisions based on his recovery. It remains to be seen whether Nabers will be able to participate in Saturday's preseason game against the Texans.

The Giants are hopeful that Nabers' injury is not severe and that he can resume practicing soon. Nabers, a promising rookie, has been impressing the coaching staff with his skills and potential on the field. His presence in the team's receiving corps could greatly contribute to the Giants' offensive firepower in the upcoming season.

As the Giants prepare for their preseason game against the Texans, the status of Malik Nabers will be closely followed by both fans and the coaching staff. The team remains optimistic about his return and will provide updates on his progress.
