Giants make roster moves after Malik Nabers injury designation
The Giants make moves incase they are without Malik Nabers.
The New York Giants have made roster changes in the wake of wide receiver Malik Nabers' questionable status for Sunday night's NFL season opener against the Dallas Cowboys. With Nabers listed as questionable due to a knee injury, the Giants have moved Braxton Berrios from the practice squad to the 53-man roster and promoted Dalen Cambre from inactive to active.
Berrios provides the Giants with an additional experienced option in the receiving corps and on special teams. However, the move is not directly tied to Nabers' injury status, as the Giants had intended to elevate Berrios regardless of Nabers' availability. The more significant development would be if the Giants elevated another receiver from the practice squad, as the promotion of Cambre is particularly noteworthy.
Cambre appeared in seven games last season, primarily on special teams. With Nabers remaining the biggest question heading into the game, the Giants' decision to add Cambre and Berrios provides insurance for a matchup where their star receiver's availability is uncertain.
