Malik Nabers injury update: Giants star injures shoulder in practice
The star receiver is coming off a dominant rookie season that saw him post 107 catches, 1,204 yards, and seven touchdowns in just 15 games despite spotty quarterback play. The 22-year-old is looking to build off that season with an improved roster in 2025, but now has to worry about the injury bug.
On Tuesday, Nabers went down with an apparent shoulder injury, adding to an ongoing toe ailment that hasn't gotten better over time.
Here is the latest on Nabers and his status going forward.
Malik Nabers injury update
Nabers was injured on a run play during Tuesday's practice, according to reports.
The receiver grabbed at his shoulder following a run block. He remained on the ground momentarily and then walked off the field under his own power before meeting with the team's trainer, Ronnie Barnes.
Head coach Brian Daboll received an update from Barnes and Nabers didn't return to practice.
The second-year star is already dealing with a toe injury that he said dates back to his days in college at LSU. It's an issue that kept Nabers out of organized team activities (OTAs) earlier in the offseason.
"It's like a mosquito that don't want to go away," Nabers said told Kay Adams on the "Up & Adams" show on Monday. "I'm trying to shoo it away. But I've been doing a great job with Russell (Wilson), trainers, you know, I've been using his physical therapist guys. I've been doing an excellent job of just staying on track of it and having his people, having my people, all together, trying to work on keeping me as healthy as possible. We're moving in the right direction. We're just staying on top of it so it don't give me any problems later on down the line."
Now it appears he can add a shoulder ailment to the list.

Ronald Acuna injury update: Braves star pulled after experiencing Achilles tightness
Atlanta Braves star Ronald Acuna Jr. was pulled from Tuesday night's game against the Kansas City Royals after experiencing "right Achilles tightness," the team said.

The latter play resulted in a ground-rule double for Vinnie Pasquantino that moved the Royals' advantage to 9-3. Eli White came in to replace Acuna, who lightly jogged off the field. Acuna, the 2023 NL MVP, entered Wednesday's game batting .309 on the season with a .430 on-base percentage, both the best marks on the Braves. He has appeared in 54 games.

LSU football linebacker Whit Weeks named to Bronco Nagurski award watchlist
LSU football linebacker Whit Weeks was named to the watch list for the Bronko Nagurski Trophy, announced Tuesday. The annual award is presented to the top defensive player in college football. LSU has just one Nagurski award winner in its history -- defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey. He won the trophy in 2007 after totaling 69 tackles and seven sacks. South Carolina's Kyle Kennard earned the recognition last year. A rising junior, Weeks ranked second in the SEC last year with 56 stops and 25 pressures. He led the Tigers with 125 tackles while also adding 10 tackles for loss, six quarterback hurries, 3.5 sacks, three pass breakups, two forced fumbles, and an interception. Weeks took a big step forward as a sophomore under first-year defensive coordinator Blake Baker, ranking among the top five in multiple statistical categories within the conference. Similar progression in 2025 would further increase his NFL Draft stock and put LSU's defense in a position to contain some of the nation's most potent offenses.
