New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers' ankle is sore but does not appear to be broken, head coach Brian Daboll said Monday.

"I'm not going to get into too much of the details. I think he's OK," Daboll said, adding that the first-round pick is day-to-day and will sit out practice Monday.

Nabers, 21, limped off the field with a left ankle injury toward the end of practice on Sunday morning.

"I don't think it's fractured," Daboll added. "He just twisted it up a little bit. It wasn't on contact or anything like that, but again, he's a little sore today."

Nabers was the sixth overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft out of LSU, where he had 89 catches for 1,569 yards and 14 touchdowns in 13 games last season.
