EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers was cleared from the concussion protocol Thursday and tracking toward a return Sunday when the New York Giants host the Philadelphia Eagles at MetLife Stadium.
Nabers, who has sat out the past two games because of the concussion, was a full participant in practice Thursday despite it also being noted he's dealing with a groin problem.
He met and was cleared by an independent neurologist later in the day. It took three weeks for Nabers to clear the protocol after being injured when his head hit the turf in a Thursday night loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Oct.
3. Giants coach Brian Daboll said earlier in the week he was «optimistic» about Nabers, the team's first-round pick from earlier this year, returning this week.
