Malik Nabers questionable for NY Giants vs. Cowboys on Sunday

The New York Giants will face the Dallas Cowboys in a season-opening game on Sunday night, with quarterback Malik Nabers' availability in question. Nabers, who is recovering from a torn ACL sustained during the previous season's Week 4, has been fully participating in practice sessions over the past three days. There are no other Giants players with injury designations going into the matchup.

For the Cowboys, running back Malik Davis will miss the game due to a hip injury. Nabers had expressed earlier in the week that the decision regarding his participation would ultimately be his own, stating, "It’s my career and it’s my body. The decision is the decision. Everyone has to understand that, at the end of the day, it’s my career.

It’s my body. I know when I’m able to play, and I know when I’m able to do what I want to do." Team coach Joe Harbaugh acknowledged Friday that leaving the decision up to the player is "just normal NFL stuff … that’s the way it works."
