Malik Nabers enjoyed another terrific game for the New York Giants, but he exited the team's 20-15 "Thursday Night Football" loss to the Dallas Cowboys with a concussion.

Nabers was banged-up late in the fourth quarter while trying to make a catch on a fourth-down pass from Daniel Jones. He went to the ground hard on the sideline and remained down after the play.

Here's what we know about the injury the Giants' talented young wide receiver suffered:

Malik Nabers injury update

Nabers suffered a concussion on the Giants' penultimate drive of the game. He tried to catch a fourth-and-6 pass from Jones, but couldn't quite secure the ball while trying to tap his toes inbounds.

Nabers went to the ground and landed hard on his head and right shoulder, with nothing to brace his fall. He remained down on the sideline briefly before he was moved to a seated position with his helmet off.

Eventually, Nabers got up and walked into the blue medical tent. He later went to the locker room, where he remained for the duration of the contest.

Shortly after Nabers went to the locker room, the Giants announced he had suffered a concussion and had been ruled out for the remainder of the game.

Giants coach Brian Daboll didn't provide an update about Nabers during his postgame news conference, as he wasn't able to see his top wide out before speaking to reporters.

"He was with the doctors right before I came in here," Daboll said. "I'll see him right after."

Who is Malik Nabers' backup on Giants depth chart?

Jalin Hyatt is the Giants' No. 4 receiver and would presumably be Nabers' top backup. Hyatt was a third-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft out of Tennessee and made 23 catches for 373 yards as a rookie. He has not made a catch during his second season and entered Week 4 having played just 38 offensive snaps.

Hyatt may see more playing time if Nabers has to miss time, but Wan'Dale Robinson would likely become the Giants' No. 1 receiver. Robinson was targeted 14 times against the Cowboys and caught 11 passes for 71 yards.

Veteran Darius Slayton would also see an uptick in opportunities.

Malik Nabers stats

Nabers was the Giants' offensive catalyst in the loss to the Cowboys. He was targeted a team-high 15 times and caught 12 passes for 115 yards; he also ran the ball once on a sweep, though he lost four yards on the play.

Nabers recorded 35 receptions, 388 yards and three touchdowns across his first four NFL games. He has looked every bit the dynamic playmaker the Giants hoped he'd be when they selected him with the sixth overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft.
