Giants’ Bobby Okereke, Deonte Banks out vs. Saints

The New York Giants will take on the New Orleans Saints at MetLife Stadium on Sunday afternoon and will enter the game extremely shorthanded.

In addition to their many other injuries, head coach Brian Daboll revealed on Friday that rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers is now dealing with a hip issue that required an MRI. He was previously limited in practice due to a groin injury.

“He won’t practice today. He’s got a hip flexor,” Daboll said. “(But) he’s not ruled out, no.”

Several other players, including defensive lineman Rakeem Nunez-Roches and linebacker Bobby Okereke, continued to miss practice and were ruled out for the team’s Week 14.

Even those who did a little work, such as cornerback Deonte Banks, didn’t make enough progress to suit up against the Saints.

Full injury reports for both the Giants and Saints can be found below:
