(0:57)Open Extended ReactionsEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers hasn't practiced in 11 days while dealing with what multiple sources told ESPN was a minor back problem. So, although Nabers could be back soon, it might not be this week given the tight schedule and quick turnaround. The Giants' offense stumbled at times during joint practices against the crosstown rival Jets without Nabers as quarterback Russell Wilson's favorite target. Wilson and the Giants know they need a healthy Nabers on the field this season to reach their full potential. It looks likely to be sooner rather than later that the Giants will have both Nabers and Thomas back.
