NFL injury tracker Week 5: Rashee Rice to IR, Malik Nabers still in concussion protocol, Nick Chubb returns to practice

The Giants are hoping that Malik Nabers will be available to them for their Sunday afternoon game in Seattle after he suffered a concussion during last Thursday’s loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

Nabers attempted to make a catch along the sideline on fourth down and was unable to get the first down. He stayed down and was tended to by the Giants’ athletic trainers before being taken to the locker room for the remainder of the game. He was later ruled out with a concussion.

Giants head coach Brian Daboll said the next day the rookie wideout was in concussion protocol and on Thursday said they will give Nabers as long as they can to get on the field against the Seahawks.

“He’s still making progress, but he’ll be working with the trainers,” Daboll said. “We’ll let it go as long as we can let it go [before…
