Is Malik Nabers Playing Sunday? Shoulder Update Before Giants vs. Titans

Unclear, but he played through it Monday. Malik Nabers dislocated his shoulder during the Giants’ 28-6 loss to the Rams on Monday night, had it popped back into place and returned to the game, and said afterward he was OK. He was scheduled for X-rays. The Giants host Tennessee on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET, with Jameis Winston now the starting quarterback after Jaxson Dart’s season ending knee injury.

Why It Matters

Nabers is returning from the torn ACL that ended his 2025 season, and shoulder dislocations carry a real risk of happening again. Even if he plays, a quarterback change from Dart to Winston changes his outlook, which is why fantasy managers are watching Thursday’s practice report closely.
