New York Giants star rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the host Seattle Seahawks, head coach Brian Daboll announced Friday.

Nabers remains in concussion protocol and will not travel with the Giants (1-3) to the Emerald City to face the Seahawks (3-1).

He was injured while attempting to hold onto the ball along the sideline during a fourth-and-6 play with 3 1/2 minutes remaining in a 20-15 loss to the visiting Dallas Cowboys on Sept. 26.

Nabers, 21, has a league-high 35 catches for 386 yards and three touchdowns in four games since being selected by New York with the sixth overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft out of LSU.

Wan'Dale Robinson, who is nursing a heel injury, and Darius Slayton would be looked upon to pick up the slack in place of Nabers.

Also on Friday, Daboll said running back Devin Singletary (groin) is expected to work on the field. The coach added that cornerbacks Adoree' Jackson (calf) and Dru Phillips (calf) are "trending in the right direction."
