Malik Nabers faces backlash Giants star was spotted at concert following concussion diagnosis

[Admin]

It hasn't taken long for New York Giants rookie Malik Nabers to show why he was one of the first wide receivers selected in the 2024 NFL Draft.

The No. 6 overall pick's 35 catches through four games leads the league. But Sunday will mark the second consecutive game that the star wide out will miss due to a head injury. On Friday, the Giants officially ruled out Nabers for New York's Sunday night game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Although Nabers has not been able to practice for the past couple of weeks, he did recently spend some time enjoying a concert at the Giants home stadium in New Jersey.

A video surfaced on social media showing Nabers entering one of the stadium's tunnels as security personnel held some concert attendees back.

Nabers was one of an estimated 60,000 fans who watched Hip-Hop star Travis Scott perform in support of his "Utopia" album in East Rutherford. "Utopia" became the best-selling rap album of 2023.

While it is unclear where exactly Nabers was on his road to recovery, loud music and bright lights can often worsen concussion symptoms. However, teams typically handle each concussion based on the unique circumstances and how a given player responds over days, weeks, or even months.

Nabers most recent appearance in an NFL game happened in Week 4 when the Giants suffered a 20-15 loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

Giants head coach Brian Daboll was asked to share his thoughts on Nabers appearance at the concert. But, the coach stopped short of divulging any details. "I'll keep that in house," he said.

Nabers has racked up 386 receiving yards and has three touchdowns so far this season.

The person delivering the football to Nabers, Giants quarterback Daniel Jones, has been largely efficient this season. The sixth year pro has thrown for 1,138 receiving yards and six touchdowns against three interceptions.
