The New York Giants returned to the practice field on Wednesday afternoon in preparation for a Week 7 game against the Philadelphia Eagles at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Unfortunately for the Giants, they were short on superstars as linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux (wrist) currently rests on injured reserve (IR) and is soon to be joined by left tackle Andrew Thomas (foot), who is out for the season.

On the positive end of the spectrum, rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (concussion) donned a red non-contact jersey and returned to practice.

"Good progress," head coach Brian Daboll said. "He's much better."

The Giants are "optimistic" Nabers will be able to play on Sunday against the Eagles.

Meanwhile, Daboll said the team would not open any windows for injured reserve (IR) players, meaning kicker Graham Gano (hamstring) is out for at least one more week.

Additionally, Daboll seems uncertain about the Week 7 statuses of nose tackle Dexter Lawrence and linebacker Brian Burns, each of whom missed practice.

The Giants' full Wednesday injury report, which will be updated post-practice, can be found below:

Did not participate: OL Andrew Thomas (foot), NT Dexter Lawrence (hip), LB Brian Burns (groin), P Jamie Gillan (hamstring)

Limited participant: WR Malik Nabers (concussion)

Full participant: N/A
