New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers had another concussion scare during Sunday’s game against the Carolina Panthers.
Nabers caught a pass over the middle on 1st-and-10 early in the fourth quarter at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany. The rookie had to leap to make the grab and was undercut by Panthers cornerback Mike Jackson. Nabers hit his head off the turf and immediately grabbed his helmet. He appeared to be in pain as he was helped off the field.

Nabers went into the blue medical tent. Sideline reporter Jamie Erdahl said during the NFL Network broadcast that Nabers was being evaluated for a concussion.
Fortunately, Nabers was cleared to return to the game. He was seen putting his helmet back on and rejoining his teammates on the sideline a few minutes later.
The play was particularly concerning because Nabers missed multiple games earlier this season after he suffered a concussion. He also hit his head off the turf on that play, so what happened on Sunday looked similar.
Even after missing two games, Nabers still led the Giants with 55 catches, 557 yards and 3 touchdowns heading into Week 10.
