New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers hurt during practice just days after full camp return
Tired of too many ads? go ad free now
Malik Nabers, who walked off under his own power before walking back inside with head athletic trainer Ronnie Barnes, did not return to practice. This raised concern because he is already managing a persistent toe injury that originated in college. The timing is unsettling: Malik Nabers is crucial to the New York Giants' on‑field plans as they prepare for the new NFL season.
What exactly happened to Malik Nabers' shoulder and who witnessed the incident on the field
During the 11‑on‑11 team session on Tuesday morning, July 29 at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center, Malik Nabers was blocking on a run play when he went to the ground and appeared to grab at his right shoulder.
He lay briefly on the field, then stood up and left the field with the head trainer Ronnie Barnes walking alongside him. That move captured the attention of reporters on site including Jordan Raanan, who noted Nabers had been
'banged up on a run play… grabbed at his shoulder as he walked off'.
Head coach Brian Daboll was informed by Barnes, and Nabers did not return to the field for the rest of practice.
Toe issue adds to injury concerns for Giants' top rookie Malik Nabers
Malik Nabers is coming off a record-setting rookie season in 2024, when he caught 109 passes for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns, earning Pro Bowl honors and setting both Giants and NFL rookie receiving marks.
Entering the 2025 season, he was recovering from a lingering toe injury that sidelined him during OTAs but allowed full participation in camp starting July 23, according to coach Brian Daboll.
Now, this new shoulder scare adds a fresh concern. Malik Nabers reportedly had previous shoulder issues in college, though he played through them without missing time. With the Giants' Week 1 opener not until September 7, there is time to assess, but any setback with their top receiver would be unwelcome.
On Monday, July 28, Nabers spoke about his toe issue (originating during his LSU days):Now, as of Tuesday, July 29, he adds a shoulder injury to that ongoing concern, one to monitor closely as training camp continues.

Dominic Smith hits go-ahead double in 9th as Giants rally for 4-2 win over Pirates
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Dominic Smith hit a go-ahead double in the ninth inning, and the San Francisco Giants rallied for a 4-2 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday. HT Image Jung Hoo Lee hit a one-out double down the right-field line off Dennis Santana (3-4). Smith, pinch hitting for Christian Koss, brought Lee in with another double to right to make it 3-2 and Patrick Bailey extended the lead with an RBI single. Giants reliever Ryan Walker (4-4) struck out the side in the eighth, including Oneil Cruz with two on and two outs. Randy Rodríguez pitched a perfect ninth for his third save. In the top half, Isaac Mattson gave up a leadoff single to Bailey, a one-out single to Rafael Devers and another single to Willy Adames before departing with the bases loaded. Matt Chapman tied it with a sacrifice fly. Nick Gonzales put the Pirates ahead with a two-out single to left in the first. Jerar Encarnacion tied it in the fifth with a 442-foot drive to left off a fastball from Andrew Heaney, his second home run of the season after hitting one in an 8-1 win Tuesday. Isiah Kiner-Falefa scored on Tommy Pham's sacrifice in the fifth, giving the Pirates back the lead. Heaney, who was tagged for one run and two hits in 4 2/3 innings, had retired 12 straight batters since letting the first two reach. Heliot Ramos started the first inning with a first-pitch single, extending his on-base streak to a career-high 20 games, before Devers was hit by a pitch. Robbie Ray struck out eight in six innings for San Francisco, giving up two runs and six hits. Cruz hit for Joey Bart in the eighth and struck out on a sinker Walker left over the heart of the plate. Smith extended his hitting streak to 11 games, tying a career-best stretch from Sept. 4-17, 2020, while with the Mets. The Giants head home to open a three-game series against the Washington Nationals on Friday. The Pirates have RHP Paul Skenes (6-8, 2.02 ERA) on the mound Thursday to start a four-game home set against Cincinnati. RHP Brady Singer (9-8, 4.36 ERA) will start for the Reds. ___ AP MLB:

Titans hit the road for joint practices and preseason games against Bucs and Falcons
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee Titans practiced in Music City on Wednesday morning and then headed out for their longest preseason road trip since the franchise left Texas in 1997. HT Image Second-year coach Brian Callahan scheduled not one, but two sets of joint practices around back-to-back road games starting Thursday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He sees nine nights away from Nashville as a way to create more of an old training camp vibe for a young team. 'That's sort of the intent of the whole trip,' Callahan said. 'Spend some time, get a chance to grow together, and then get to go play against some other teams.' Callahan also wants to hear the reviews from the Buccaneers, then the Atlanta Falcons on what they think of how the Titans compete. He sees this as a chance for a starting point of what the Titans can be this year. 'And get a change to do some things as a team on the road, some events together, things like that,' Callahan said. 'It's something I'm really looking forward to. Can't wait.' The Titans, who went 3-14 in Callahan's debut season, will be away from Nashville for nine straight nights. They won't practice again in Nashville until Aug. 19 before wrapping up the preseason by hosting Minnesota on Aug. 22. After opening this preseason Saturday night against Tampa Bay, the Titans go to Atlanta for two joint practices and a game Aug. 15. Left tackle Dan Moore has had only one joint practice with Pittsburgh, and that was last year. This will be a bit of a new experience, though Moore is familiar to going away to camp with the Steelers a regular at Latrobe, Pennsylvania. 'Obviously, we're on a business trip, but we'll have some free time, some downtime," Moore said. "We'll be in the hotel. Guys can hang out, do stuff together and go places, go eat, whatever. And I think that's a good time for us to just bond as team and build chemistry.' Bonding can only help a franchise that has added 37 free agents, nine drafted rookies and five more players added off waivers through Sunday — a total of 51 players in training camp. Safety Quandre Diggs isn't new after playing eight games for Tennessee last season before going on injured reserve. He signed Tuesday, and the Titans are easing him back into the mix. He recognizes a lot of faces on the roster, including his cousin, rookie quarterback Cam Ward. 'It's different when you walk in the locker room and you see your family, like real family," the three-time Pro Bowl safety said of Ward. "And so it was cool.' Titans defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson has been trying to throw every look possible at Ward to help prep the No. 1 draft pick overall for the season opener Sept. 7 at Denver. Now the Titans will get a glimpse of how other NFL defenses might challenge the rookie. 'He's a grown man to me,' wide receiver Calvin Ridley said of Ward. 'He's a confident guy, he's a guy that wants to be good.' ___ AP NFL:
