Malik Nabors is trending in the wrong direction as the Giants' injury list continues to mount.
The Giants' stud rookie receiver missed Friday's practice with a hip flexor injury and is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Saints.
The injury occurred during Thursday's practice, after which the Giants listed him as a limited player due to a groin injury.
Nabors missed two games earlier this year due to a concussion.
He has also been on various injury reports throughout the year with groin issues, but has yet to miss a game because of it.
If Nabors is unable to play, that likely means Jalin Hiatt will be in the lineup to get more playing time.
Nabors had 75 catches for 740 yards and three receiving touchdowns, all team highs.
Chris Hubbard (knee) did not practice Friday and is questionable for Sunday's game. He was not listed on the injury report so far this week.
Deonte Banks (ribs), Bobby Okereke (back) and Rakeem Nunez-Roches (neck/shoulder) missed Friday's practice and were ruled out.
Jermaine Elemunor (quad) and DJ Davidson (shoulder) are questionable.
Jordon Riley has limited practice and remains questionable.
Head coach Brian Daboll said Tyler Nubin and Dane Belton should be able to play despite being on the injury report.
The Giants claimed cornerback/kick returner Dee Williams off waivers from the Seahawks.
Offensive line coach Carmen Bricillo wasn't exactly a fan of Evan Neal.
Is the third-season player, drafted seventh overall in 2022, getting everything he wants from Neal?
“We have a guy who has only started four games at this point,” Briscillo said. “I think there are definitely things we need to work on. I would like to leave things as they are.The premise of the question in that sense is that if you look at it from a distance, you should just focus on getting through today.Who will be tomorrow? Nothing was promised. I'm trying to be better today.”
Neal saw little action as a substitute at the beginning of the season, but has started the last three games. He had limited participation in Friday's practice due to a hip injury and is questionable for Sunday's game.
Bricillo is in his first season with the team.
Long snapper Casey Kreiter remains the Giants' only captain. Daboll said Friday that he will choose additional players to play with him in Sunday's coin toss.
“When we voted early in the season, some of the players had a little bit of a vote for captain,” Daboll said. “They may not have as many votes as other players, but they're players who have played a lot of football and accomplished, whether they were on other teams or here this year.”
