Report: Giants WR Malik Nabers resting his back

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers is dealing with a back injury that is keeping him out of Giants practice, an ESPN report said on Sunday.
Nabers missed the Giants’ first two preseason games and hasn’t practiced in 11 days. The report cited sources calling the injury a “minor back problem.”
As a rookie out of LSU last year, Nabers made the Pro Bowl after a standout season. He nabbed 109 receptions for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns while starting 13 of 15 games.
Nabers has dealt with a few injuries this offseason, most notably a toe issue from the spring that he elected not to have surgery on. In late July, Nabers said the injury was feeling “pretty good.”
“It just never really came to a complete thought in mind for me to do (surgery),” Nabers said, “But I’ve been managing it well, been running around feeling pretty good. Everything has been going good with the rehab, so my toe is feeling better.”
The Giants have been reticent with injuries this training camp, with head coach Brian Daboll not providing any Nabers update when prompted last week.
“Not going to get into any injuries,” Daboll said. “(He’s) working hard to get back.”
The Giants’ final preseason game is at home on Thursday against the New England Patriots.
