In the fourth quarter of last Thursday night's game against the Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers went down with a concussion. It happened late in the game while he was attempting to make a catch.

As a result, Nabers left the game and went into the blue medical tent. He did not return back to the contest.

Shortly after the injury, Nabers posted on social media that he was doing fine. Following the game, the Giants placed Nabers in concussion protocol and as a result, he missed Wednesday's practice.

Giants coach Brian Daboll announced before Friday's practice that Nabers is still in concussion protocol, and will be out of Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Nabers will not travel with the team to Seattle.

The New York Giants face the Seattle Seahawks this weekend on the road in Week 5. Kickoff is set for 4:25 p.m. ET and the game will be played at Lumen Field.

The Seahawks are currently big seven-point home favorites with the total over/under line for points being set a 42.5.

The Giants, who hold a 1-3 record, will look to get back in the win column. After suffering back-to-back losses in the first two weeks of the season, New York earned a 21-15 win against the Cleveland Browns in Week 3. Last week, they fell short to their divisional rivals, the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday night.

The Seahawks suffered their first loss of the season last Monday night as they fell to the Detroit Lions 42-29. Prior to that, they earned three straight victories over the Denver Broncos, New England Patriots and Miami Dolphins to open the season.

Who do you think will win on Sunday, between the Seahawks and the Giants?
