The Seattle Seahawks could catch a break versus the New York Giants in Sunday's Week 5 matchup. Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers exited the team's Week 4 defeat to the Dallas Cowboys in the fourth quarter with a concussion. Opposing head coach Brian Daboll told reporters on Wednesday that Nabers remains in the early stages of the concussion protocol and his status for Sunday's contest remains in question.

Nabers has been an absolute workhorse and revelation for the Giants this season. The first-year contributor currently ranks first in the entire league in receptions (35) and targets (52), second in receiving yards (386), and is tied for second in receiving touchdowns with three. Nabers has truly been among the best receivers in the NFL this campaign.

The Giants do not possess many receiving threats outside of Nabers. Their second-leading receiver is Wan'Dale Robinson, who has recorded 192 less receiving yards (194) than Nabers has. Robinson also has nine fewer catches (26). Darius Slayton is the other receiver in the Giants' starting lineup.

The Seahawks currently rank seventh in the league in passing yards per allowed game (167.5). Defensive minded head coach Mike Macdonald may already appreciate his chances of going up against Giants QB Daniel Jones and his 21st-ranked offense (296.8 yards per contest) and 29th-ranked scoring offense (15 PPG).

Seattle's production on defense versus the Giants could increase dramatically if Nabers is ruled out.
