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…
