Malik Nabers limited in practice with knee injury

The New York Giants returned to the field on Thursday afternoon for their second of three practices ahead of a Week 2 game against the Washington Commanders at Northwest Stadium.

Wide receiver Darius Slayton, who remains in a concussion protocol, took a step toward returning. He participated in a red non-contact jersey and barring any setbacks, is on pace to play in Sunday’s game.

The same could not be said for the other three players who missed practice on Wednesday. Wide receiver Gunner Olszewski (groin), as expected, and both cornerback Nick McCloud (knee) and linebacker Darius Muasau (knee) continued to sit out.

Olszewski is not likely to return to the field for several more weeks.

Finally, rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers was added to the injury report with a knee issue. He was limited.

Did not participate: WR Gunner Olszewski (groin), CB Nick McCloud (knee), LB Darius Muasau (knee)
