Malik Nabers injury update: Latest news on New York Giants star in Week 6 image

The New York Giants were able to pull off an upset win without star Malik Nabers, but they hope to get him back in Week 6.

Nabers didn't practice at all last week and was still in the concussion protocol after exiting the game late against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 4.

The Giants got some great production from Darius Slayton, who recorded eight receptions for 122 yards and a touchdown in place of Nabers as the de-facto WR1.

As the Giants got the week started Wednesday, head coach Brian Daboll told reporters that Nabers is considered day to day and that the star receiver will begin the week working on the side.

While Nabers isn't practicing yet, it's a positive sign that he's progressing through the league's concussion protocol.

His participation statuses for Thursday and Friday will ultimately determine his chances to play in Week 6.

After pulling off the upset in Week 5 over the Seahawks, the Giants will be back home to host the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 6 on Sunday Night Football.
