NFL injury tracker Week 6: Malik Nabers out vs. Bengals, Anthony Richardson returns to practice

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers will miss a second straight game with a concussion. Head coach Brian Daboll said on Thursday that the rookie wideout was in the “same spot” in concussion protocol.

On Friday, Nabers was official ruled out for Sunday night’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Nabers missed last week’s win over the Seattle Seahawks after suffering the injury during the Giants’ Week 4 game against the Dallas Cowboys. He still leads the NFL in receptions with 35 and is eighth in receiving yards with 386.

The Indianapolis Colts may get their QB1 back this Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

Anthony Richardson was listed as a full participant in practice on Thursday. He suffered an oblique injury against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 4 and missed last week’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Richardson said this week that he feels much better than he did a week ago.

“Of course dealing with injuries, nobody wants to be on the sideline, but I’m just working with the trainers day-by-day,” Richardson said. “I’m in here in the morning making sure I’m getting my body right and I’m also in the film room and the meeting room making sure I am prepared if I am playing.”

Colts running back Jonathan Taylor, meanwhile, will miss his second straight game with a high ankle sprain.

The ankle injury is on the same ankle that has bothered Taylor in the past. It is reportedly not as severe, but it’s unknown how much more time he will miss.
