Check out the latest NFL injury news and notes around fantasy football.

Malik Nabers injures foot in practice, Giants not overly concerned
Malik Nabers exited practice on Sunday with a foot injury. At this point, the Giants are not overly concerned with the injury.

Fantasy Impact

Nabers has had several highlight-worthy plays in training camp, garnering lots of hype from fantasy managers everywhere. Although he was not targeted in his eight routes run in his NFL debut, Nabers’ talent still leaves fantasy managers drafting him as a WR2. Assuming this injury isn’t serious, Nabers should be ready for his regular-season opener versus the Vikings.

Hollywood Brown suffers shoulder injury, could miss regular season opener
Hollywood Brown suffered a sternoclavicular joint dislocation on his first play with the Kansas City Chiefs in the preseason opener versus the Jaguars. Brown was taken to the hospital for further evaluation.

Fantasy Impact

Head coach Andy Reid said in a post-game interview that he believes Brown will miss some time, including regular season play. In his absence, speedy rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy should see increased first-team reps for the Chiefs as they look to improve on their wide receiver room from last year.
