Giants get WR Malik Nabers, OT Andrew Thomas back at practice

The New York Giants got some good news on the injury front Thursday as they continued to prepare for a Week 5 game against the Washington Commanders.

• Wide receiver Malik Nabers, who said he was sore" on Wednesday and did not practice, was a limited practice participant. He continues to manage his knee in his return from a torn ACL.
• Left tackle Andrew Thomas, managing a groin injury, returned to practice as a limited participant after not practicing on Wednesday.
• Running back Cam Skattebo was again a limited participant, but shed the red, non-contact jersey on Thursday.

There was, though, some bad news.

Safety Jason Pinnock (concussion) did not practice. He would seem unlikely to clear the protocol in time to play on Sunday.

Defensive end Chauncey Golston (neck) did not practice for the second straight day. Head coach John Harbaugh said on Wednesday Golston's injury might be long-term.
