Giants coach Brian Daboll confirmed that wide receiver Malik Nabers, who leads the NFL with 35 catches, will miss his second consecutive game as he continues to be in the concussion protocol. Nabers, the No. 6 overall pick out of LSU, remained in the third stage of the protocol on Thursday, allowing him limited on-field activities.
Nabers sat out the Giants' recent victory over Seattle and his status for the upcoming game against the Bengals remains uncertain pending further evaluation.
