NFL injury tracker Week 6: Malik Nabers out vs. Bengals, Anthony Richardson a game-time decision, Russell Wilson likely to be active

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.
