Malik Nabers posts after suffering a concussion in the Giants’ loss to the Cowboys

There was plenty of cause for concern for rookie receiver Malik Nabers in the aftermath of the New York Giants’ 20-15 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday night football.

Nabers left the game in the fourth quarter with what was later diagnosed as a concussion. He didn’t speak to the media after the Giants’ loss — as is NFL protocol for concussed players — but he did log on to social media to let everyone know he’s fine.

“All good,” Nabers wrote on his Instagram Story. “Thanks for all the prayers!”

With 3:30 to play in the fourth quarter and the Giants facing a fourth-and-6, quarterback Daniel Jones targeted Nabers on the sideline. Nabers got his hands on the football but did not complete the catch, and he was slow to get up after landing awkwardly on the turf.

Nabers eventually walked off the field and found himself in the locker room for the final minutes of the game. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport later reported that Nabers had been diagnosed with a concussion.

The 21-year-old tallied 12 receptions for 115 receiving yards against the Cowboys on Thursday night, bringing his totals this season to 35 receptions for 386 yards and three touchdowns.

Nabers’ Instagram post doesn’t affect his status for the Giants Week 5 game against the Seattle Seahawks on Oct. 6, but the 10 days between games should aid his recovery.
