The latest on Andrew Thomas, Malik Nabers injuries as Giants prep for preseason finale
Access the Giants like never before Get texts from Paul Schwartz with all the latest Giants news and insights, exclusive to Sports+ subscribers. tRY IT NOW Russell Wilson was full of enthusiasm following Saturday night's 31-12 preseason victory over the Jets, speaking glowingly about how the offense has operated in training camp and in two preseason games. 'The good part is we don't even have Malik Nabers out there yet,' Wilson said. 'He's had a great camp, so when he gets back out there too it will be really exciting for us.' Advertisement The question is this: When will Nabers get out there? The answer: The Giants fully expect him to be ready to roll for the Sept. 7 season opener in Washington. 5 Malik Nabers is pictured before the Giants' preseason game against the Jets on Aug. 16. Bill Kostroun for the NY Post Advertisement The Giants are being quite cautious with Nabers, knowing he is their one difference-maker on offense and their breakout star wide receiver. Nabers has not played in the first two preseason games and there are no plans to play him in the final preseason game, Thursday night against the Patriots. This is not a concern. Nabers is fine, a source said, and expected to handle his usual full load in the season opener. Advertisement He has missed time this summer with a lingering toe issue, went down hard on his shoulder in one practice and has more recently sat out with back tightness. None of these physical setbacks are alarming to the Giants — or to Nabers. He has missed time this summer with a lingering toe issue, went down hard on his shoulder in one practice and has more recently sat out with back tightness. 5 Malik Nabers looks to make a catch during the Giants' Aug. 6 practice. Corey Sipkin for the NY Post Advertisement 5 Brian Daboll talks to Malik Nabers during the Giants' Aug. 1 practice. Corey Sipkin for the NY Post None of these physical setbacks are alarming to the Giants — or to Nabers. 'Yeah, I'm doing fine,'' Nabers said earlier in camp. 'You know, the coaches and the training staff have a process of what they want me to do to be healthy for when we get ready to play, so I just got to do my job and follow the plan that they put ahead of me.'' The Giants will hold what coach Brian Daboll described as 'a good competitive padded practice'' on Tuesday. Does Andrew Thomas make it onto the field? Thomas, the starting left tackle and the team's most indispensable offensive lineman, remains on the physically unable to perform list following foot surgery to repair a Lisfranc fracture. 5 Andrew Thomas is pictured during the Giants' Aug. 7 practice. Charles Wenzelberg Advertisement Time is running short for Thomas, as the season opener is three weeks away and it is clear he is not going to play in any of the three preseason games. The closer it gets to the games counting, the less likely it is that Daboll will put his team in pads in practice. Thomas once he is able to come off the PUP will need work to get into playing shape and there will not be many opportunities for him to get that work after this week. 'Getting better, so we'll take it day by day and see where we're at,'' Daboll said on Sunday, parroting what he has said about Thomas all spring and summer. 'Each day he gets a little bit better, so we'll make that decision when we think it's best for us and him. Advertisement 'He's on his rehab schedule and he's working hard to get back as quickly as he can.' 5 Andrew Thomas works out during the Giants' Aug. 7 practice. Charles Wenzelberg Giants general manager Joe Schoen at the start of training camp said he expected Thomas would be available to play in Week 1. Without Thomas, James Hudson III has worked at left tackle with the starting group. Advertisement Rookie Marcus Mbow, a fifth-round pick from Purdue, has primarily lined up at right tackle, but he has been given a look on the left side, and his performance has been impressive. Rookie outside linebacker Abdul Carter in the second quarter got leveled on a chip block by TE Stone Smartt. When Carter got back to his feet, he got leveled again by OT Chukwuma Okorafor.

Giants' Jung Hoo Lee makes catch off glove, thigh and calf before pinning baseball between knees
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — San Francisco Giants center fielder Jung Hoo Lee may have made the catch of the year — at least. Tampa Bay's Yandy Díaz drove a pitch to deep right-center, known as Triples Alley at Oracle Park, and Lee made a play that created a buzz Sunday on social media as San Francisco beat the Rays 7-1. Lee ran to his left and while sliding on his left leg, the baseball bounced out of his glove. The ball traveled to his his left thigh and rolled down to his left calf before it popped up and he pinned it between his knees and snagged the ball with his glove. The speedy, 26-year-old South Korean has become a fan favorite in San Francisco since signing a sixth-year deal worth $113 million before the 2024 season. He's about to be even more popular. Lee has been perhaps the best player on the middle-of-the-pack Giants this season, playing regularly after his rookie season was shortened to 26 games due to injury. He has bounced back after having season-ending surgery on his dislocated left shoulder after getting injured crashing into an outfield wall. ___ AP MLB:
