Malik Nabers sat out practice, but the Giants say they have a plan

A player skipping practice in training camp can mean a hundred different things. Sometimes it's load management. Sometimes it's something else. With Malik Nabers, the Giants aren't giving much away — only that they know what they're doing.

Nabers arrived last year as one of the most talked-about young wide receivers in the league, the kind of player a franchise builds around. What he's been carrying into this camp, and why he's not on the field today, isn't spelled out.

The team's message was measured: there's a plan. That's the kind of answer that keeps questions open rather than closing them.

For a player at this stage — still early, still proving — missed practice time matters. Not because of one day, but because of what it signals to the people watching. The Giants are asking everyone to trust the process. Whether that holds depends on what the plan actually looks like.
