Nubin (knee) was a limited participant in Friday's practice but does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Saints.
Nubin popped up on Thursday's injury report due to a knee issue. He ended the week with consecutive limited practices, but the injury doesn't appear to be a concern as the rookie second-round pick is slated to play Sunday. Nubin has played every single defensive snap in 11 of 12 regular-season games and has logged 93 tackles (53 solo), one pass defense, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.

Giants' Tyler Nubin: Dealing with knee injury
Rotowire
Nubin (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Nubin wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, indicating that his knee injury is a recent one. His practice participation Friday will provide clarity on his status heading into Sunday's game against the Saints. If Nubin is unable to play Sunday, Dane Belton (hip) would be the top candidate to start at strong safety alongside free safety Jason Pinnock.

The rookie safety played through a back issue in the Giants' Week 12 loss to the Buccaneers, recording 12 total tackles and one pass defended across 62 defensive snaps. Monday's estimated limited session is likely precautionary, and Nubin is still expected to suit up for the Giants' Thanksgiving Day matchup against the Cowboys unless he downgrades to no practice participation Tuesday or Wednesday.

Giants' Tyler Nubin: Records 12 stops again in loss
Rotowire
Nubin posted 12 tackles (five solo) in Sunday's Week 12 defeat against the Buccaneers.
Nubin's tackle total led New York on a rough day for the team as a whole, and it marked his second straight game with exactly 12 stops. The rookie has been one of the few bright spots in an ugly season for New York, as he immediately stepped into a starting role and has recorded at least four tackles in all but one of his 11 games. With 81 stops on the season, he ranks second on New York behind only Bobby Okereke (83).

Giants' Tyler Nubin: Paces team in stops Sunday
Rotowire
Nubin tallied nine tackles (five solo), including one for loss, in Sunday's Week 6 defeat against the Bengals.
Nubin has been racking up tackles of late -- he's led New York in stops three straight weeks and has 26 combined tackles during that span. That puts the rookie firmly on the IDP radar, though he doesn't have any interceptions or sacks so far. Nubin has a stranglehold on the starting role at strong safety for the Giants, having played all of the team's defensive snaps in five out of six games this year.

Giants' Tyler Nubin: Paces team in tackles Week 1
Rotowire
Nubin tallied seven tackles (five solo) in Sunday's loss to Minnesota.
Nubin got the start at strong safety for New York and played all 55 of the team's defensive snaps. Meanwhile, Dane Belton -- who had at one point appeared to have won the starting role at the position -- played just nine defensive snaps, though it's not clear if the back injury that bothered him throughout the practice week contributed to his limited usage. Regardless, Nubin performed well in his first NFL game and appears set to be a key part of the team's defensive backfield moving forward.

Giants' Tyler Nubin: Fills safety need for Big Blue
Rotowire
The Giants selected Nubin in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 47th overall.
Safety is one of the weaker positions in this class, and Nubin is the first to come off the board in the middle of the second round. It's a strong value for the Giants, as they get the best safety in the class after losing Xavier McKinney in free agency this offseason. Nubin got by on impressive instincts at Minnesota with 13 career interceptions. He didn't test at the NFL Combine due to a knee issue and only ran a 4.59 in the 40 at the Gopher pro day, so teams could test his speed down the field. His 207 career tackles show a willingness to get his nose dirty and play the run, which is a strong complement to his coverage chops.
