WR Malik Nabers, NYG (5 Viewers)

Nabors is not missing a month. He might miss this week but I bet he'll be back next week.

Lot of conspiracies going on here.
No one said he's missing a month? FWIW the guy/girl/alias that quoted my post took a sentence and manipulated it out of context in which I was referring to boxers/MMA fighters getting knocked out and how long they'd be required to wait before fighting again. I've been saying from the jump that Nabers will only miss 1 game because that's what the NFL currently feels is best for public perception and risk mitigation, for now.
 
He's missing a month at a minimum, likely much more. End of story. Combat sports take this much more seriously than the NFL, and the NFL IS combat sport whether anyone cares to admit it or not. They aren't playing patty cake out there.
Here you explained what combat sports do and stated NFL is a combat sport. I guess I assumed you believed that the NFL should follow the example of other combat sports and require a month off (at a minimum). I guess that is not what you meant.

Many things in this world is about risk mitigation. The NFL is no different but that doesn't mean that their "risk mitigation" process is bad or hypocritical. You have said that nobody really knows the right answer and that every person reacts/responds/improves from brain injury differently. The NFL process is based on how the player is responding and has steps to clear to advance based on their recovery. How is this hypocritical? Their process can be for risk mitigation and player safety all at the same time. It doesn't have to be either/or.
You said the NFL was doing all they could. I called BS and showed you why. Yet you continue.
Dude, you’re an *******. But I’m guessing you are good with that. You are also quite arrogant and confident on a message board. Small **** keyboard jockey.

Way to take my response and quote a sentence out of context LMAO. What's your deal man? Go back and reread my post, slowly this time, then tell me if you're still having difficulty understanding my point. If so, let me know and I'll try to explain in smaller words. Maybe pictures?
Or maybe drop it? Move on?

I was done. He manipulated my message. I'm not OK with that. Just setting the record straight. If you don't like it, feel free to use the Ignore button.
 
Longer season...yet more injuries. Some teams playing it probably even more safe than the past because some teams actually like to protect their players.

As much as I'd love football year round, man, people are dropping left and right like flies. Any correlation to reduced training camp or off-season stuff?

Good point. I bet there is a correlation.
 
On topic. Nabers will play this week. Book it. Too much at stake not to.

How can a player return to play after entering the protocol?​

Once sidelined under the NFL’s protocol, a player must complete the return-to-participation program, which includes five phases.

Phase 1, symptom-limited activity: The player is prescribed rest and limiting and/or avoiding activities that increase or aggravate symptoms. Under athletic training staff supervision, limited stretching and balance training can be introduced, progressing to light aerobic exercise. If tolerated, the player can attend meetings and film study.

Phase 2, aerobic exercise: Under the supervision of team staff, players should begin graduated cardiovascular exercise, such as on a stationary bike or treadmill. The player may also engage in stretching and balance training.

Phase 3, football-specific exercise: The player continues supervised cardiovascular exercises and may mimic sport-specific activities and supervised strength training.

Phase 4, non-contact training drills: The player can continue cardiovascular, strength and balance training, team-based sports-specific exercise and participate in non-contact football activities.

Phase 5, full football activity/clearance: The player is finally cleared by the club doctor for full football activity involving contact. The player must be examined by the independent neurological consultant assigned to his club. If the consultant agrees with the club physician that the player’s concussion has resolved, he may participate in his team’s next practice or game.
Sounds like he was in either 3 or 4 yesterday? There is a chance, but I'm guessing one more week. The man's health is more important than my fantasy team.
So you’re playing against Nabers this week. 😂

Be more cool than this.

Don't ruin a thread replying to that with "So you’re playing against Nabers this week. 😂"
 
My team is a disaster this season with all injuries.. I am about to chalk up this FF season
Hill-Nico-Kupp-Rice
AJB-Nico-Adams-Rice

The combos are just not working out
It’s so bad this year. Starting my 4th and 5th RB’s (Lost JT, Cooks, and Brian Robinson) and Nebers from my WR. And it seems like everyone has this same story. Quite the year for sure.

Brian Daboll: “You can’t replace Andrew Thomas.” Daboll implies moving Jermaine Eluemunor to the left side is on the table, but says he will start on the right for today’s practice.

Josh Ezeudu in the mix on both sides possibly. Daboll says for the first time that Giants may look at Evan Neal on left side at some point, even though he will be on the right for now.

Daboll says Malik Nabers is “better” and will practice today with a non-contact, red jersey on. Daboll says he is optimistic. To be determined how Nabers reacts to practice, but there is a chance he could play vs Philly #Giants.
 
Would have thought he'd have shown more progress by now - obviously a much more significant concussion than it appeared at the time.
It looked super bad at the time. Slammed into the turf in the sideline, stayed down an extended period.

In the in-game topic I think I said “oh great, now Nabers is dead.”

lol - I hope he plays this weekend. Sounds like he’s got a good shot.

You are either concussed or you are not. Every person handles them differently and recovers differently. There really isn't a significant or less significant type. At least that is what all the specialists and doctors we consulted with about my daughters concussion said.

Weird. I watched that play and didn't see him hit his head at all so I assumed it was from the play before where he got hit.

It looked to me at the time that he literally fell directly on his chin, so while he wasn't hit in the helmet, it was almost like an uppercut punch that, at the time, appeared to have knocked him unconscious.

Pretty sure I also posted in the same game thread
"Giants - Daboll gonna get him killed with that many targets"
Agree with you

Yep - total faceplant straight into the ground with velocity. I knew it was bad the second it happened.

Malik Nabers has progressed to the final stage of concussion protocol, per Brian Daboll. He will practice today with hope he gets cleared to play Sunday by independent docs afterward.

If anyone knows who these docs are, and whether they can be bribed, please pass along.

Asking for a friend, of course.
 
Malik Nabers was listed on Thursday’s injury report with a groin injury
Nabers, who has been dealing with a concussion, was a full participant in Thursday’s practice but is now dealing with a groin injury. It’s encouraging that he was still listed as a full participant, but this now becomes something else to monitor heading into the weekend. Nabers also needs to clear concussion protocol to have a shot at playing, but Thursday’s practice suggests he’s on the verge of getting out of protocol before the weekend.

Malik Nabers has cleared the league’s concussion protocol.
This is the good news. The bad news is that Nabers was added to Thursday’s injury report due to a groin injury. He was still listed as a full participant despite the injury, but Friday’s injury report will be one to watch as far as the rookie’s Week 7 availability is concerned. Now out of concussion protocol, as long as Nabers’ groin injury isn’t anything serious, he should be good to go on Sunday against the Eagles.
