Malik Nabers was pitted to be one of the best wide receivers from this draft class and he has lived up to the hype thus far. However, two weeks ago, he sustained a massive concussion while playing against the Dallas Cowboys.
Malik Nabers is now fit and fine while eyeing a comeback this Sunday. The rookie receiver was unable to recall taking a hit and sustaining the concussion.
It was scary when I couldn’t remember what happened. I can’t remember the last play I was in, so yeah, it was kind of scary. Last thing I remember was (Daniel Jones) throwing me the ball. That was it.

It is hard to recover from a concussion and the subsequent headaches and throbbing in his head after the hit make it just as challenging to power through. Fortunately, the wideout was able to make a quick recovery from his concussion.
The Giants’ medical staff cleared him to play on Thursday, two weeks after sustaining the big hit. He was limited in Friday’s practice owing to his groin injury that dates back to college but come Sunday, he is expected to suit up against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Malik Nabers was subject to criticism after he attended a Travis Scott concert along with his teammate Isaiah Simmons while he was in concussion protocol. Despite keeping the team updated regarding his intention to attend the concert, fans were not too keen on seeing him do so while he was supposed to be recovering.
Nabers understands that this comes with the job. The rookie made it clear that he loves football but at the same time, is not going to miss out on opportunities to socialize and enjoy what he loves doing.
Yeah, I’m going to always be myself. I mean, that’s the life that I chose to live. It’s what comes with the job. But at the end of the day, I still got my own life. I still got my own personal life, so I’m going to continue to have my own personal life. I’m going to still continue to watch my back and I’m going to still continue to have my personal life.
Malik Nabers said
It is never easy playing in The Big Apple. The expectations are high and the criticism from the fans is harsher. Nabers has 386 yards on 35 receptions and 3 touchdowns. He has had a good start to his rookie year and will continue to do better, and he intends to play in the NFL for a long time which is why Nabers has and will continue to prioritize his health.
