The Giants' Week 9 prep took a concerning turn Thursday. Star receiver Malik Nabers did not practice due to a knee issue, and running back Cam Skattebo remains sidelined as the team's injury report swelled ahead of Sunday's divisional matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles.
There is a silver lining on the Nabers front: per Yahoo Sports, the receiver sounds like he expects to play against Philadelphia. But a missed Thursday practice with a knee problem puts his status squarely in wait-and-see territory for a game the Giants can ill afford to enter shorthanded, with fantasy managers and bettors alike watching Friday's participation report closely.
Skattebo's continued absence is the other major storyline. The running back has yet to return to the practice field, and multiple outlets characterized Thursday's updates on both players as concerning for New York's offensive outlook against an Eagles defense that doesn't need the help.
Elsewhere in New York, Jets receiver Garrett Wilson has yet to practice this week, adding another marquee name to the metro area's growing list of question marks as the weekend approaches.
