Who's in, who's out for the Eagles at Giants

Who's in, who's out for the Eagles at Giants

Malik Nabers will return to the field on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles after missing two games due to a concussion.

Despite missing those two games, he still leads the Giants with 386 receiving yards and three touchdowns. Wan'Dale Robinson jumped past him and now has a team-high 37 catches, two more than Nabers. Robinson is second in the NFL with 58 targets, six more than Nabers.

When he was injured late in the fourth quarter against Dallas on September 26, Nabers led the league in targets and catches and was second in yards.

Defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence (hip) and linebacker Brian Burns (groin) were listed as questionable for the game. Safety Dane Belton did not practice due to illness and was also questionable.

The Giants announced Friday that cornerback Adoree' Jackson (neck) and punter Jamie Gillan will not play against Philadelphia on Sunday.

The Giants filled the roster spot created when Andrew Thomas was placed on injured reserve by signing veteran offensive lineman Chris Hubbard from the San Francisco 49es' practice squad. They received information about Hubbard from tight ends coach Tim Kelly, who was with him at Tennessee last season.

Hubbard, 6-4 and 295 pounds, has played in 94 regular-season games with 58 starts in 10 seasons for Pittsburgh (four years), Cleveland (five) and Tennessee (one). He made 55 starts at right tackle, two at extra tackle and one at tight end. In 2023, Hubbard started all nine games with the Titans, playing right tackle. He also played in six postseason games for the Steelers from 2015 to 2017.

Hubbard entered the NFL in 2014 as a rookie free agent out of Alabama in Birmingham.

On Saturday, the Giants signed outside linebacker Tomon Fox from the practice squad.
