New York Giants star wide receiver Malik Nabers, who sustained a hip flexor injury on Thursday, is active for the team’s game Sunday against the New Orleans Saints in East Rutherford, N.J.
Nabers was listed as questionable after the injury at practice and he received an MRI. He did not participate in practice on Friday.
He also has been dealing with a groin injury throughout the majority of the season.
Nabers, 21, leads the team in catches (75), receiving yards (740) and receiving touchdowns (three) in 10 games. He was the sixth overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft out of LSU.
The Giants (2-10) already had ruled out cornerback Deonte Banks (rib), linebacker Bobby Okereke (back) and defensive lineman Rakeem Nunez-Roches (neck, shoulder) for the game. Other inactives announced Sunday are cornerback Dru Phillips (shoulder) and offensive tackle Christopher Hubbard (knee), who each were questionable, and offensive tackle Jermaine Eluemunor (quadricep), who was doubtful.
Cornerback Dee Williams, whom the Giants claimed off waivers from the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, is the other inactive player.
The Giants made several roster moves on Sunday. They waived quarterback Tim Boyle and placed defensive lineman D.J. Davidson (shoulder) on injured reserve.
Defensive linemen Elijah Garcia and Casey Rogers were signed from the practice squad to the active roster, and offensive tackle Tyre Phillips and cornerback Greg Stroman were game-day elevations.
The Saints (4-8) listed these players as inactive: quarterback Spencer Rattler (designated as the third QB), running back Jordan Mims, linebacker Jaylan Ford, wide receiver Mason Tipton and defensive tackle Khristian Boyd.
