"EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - New York Giants star wide receiver Malik Nabers is expected to play Sunday against the Washington Commanders despite sitting out the final practice of the week with back tightness. Nabers was not given an injury designation for the Week 1 contest against a division rival. The same could not be said for standout left tackle Andrew Thomas, who is listed as doubtful as he rehabs from a Lisfranc injury from last year."
"Thomas may be equally indispensable for the Giants. New York is 3-15 without him in the lineup the past two seasons. The All-Pro tackle is returning following a Lisfranc injury last season that required surgery. He spent most of the summer on the physically unable to perform list. Thomas was activated off PUP several weeks back, but Friday was the first time he participated in live team drills this year. "I thought it was a good day," Thomas said after practice."
Malik Nabers is expected to play despite sitting out the final practice with back tightness and receiving no injury designation for the Week 1 game. The Giants limited his work at Friday's practice, and the team described the issue as minor camp tightness after Nabers missed nearly two weeks this summer for a similar problem. Nabers is the team's clear No. 1 receiver after a 109-catch, 1,204-yard season. Left tackle Andrew Thomas is listed as doubtful while rehabbing a Lisfranc injury; he was activated off PUP, participated in live drills, and said he is managing pain and soreness.
