Nabers looks more indispensable to this Giants offense than ever. When he's not on the field, NY's offense is devoid of firepower.

With Greg Van Roten not practicing Thursday — he’s “going through” the birth of his child, Daboll said — Evan Neal, the former tackle in the middle of a position change the Giants hope will salvage his underwhelming career, took first-team snaps at right guard.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers is dealing with a toe injury that has plagued him since his college days at LSU. It's an injury that resulted in Nabers, who toughed through the ailment to eclipse 1,000 yards receiving as a rookie, missing the team's offseason programs earlier this summer.
