New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers was seen at a Travis Scott show on Wednesday.

The LSU product appeared to be right behind Scott in a picture where he was wearing sunglasses, a black jacket, and a black t-shirt.

This decision rubbed several fans the wrong way and they took to X, formerly Twitter, to voice their complaints about Nabers' whereabouts, especially knowing that he's still in concussion protocol.

"If this is true, that is negligent while still in protocol. He should be fined," one fan said.
"Can’t imagine the strobe lights and blaring music from that concert are great for his concussion," another fan said.
"Oh well that’s good, cause Travis Scott concerts totally expedite concussion recoveries," another fan ironically said.

Others wondered how he's not playing this Sunday if he's good to do activities that won't help his concussion.

"This is very irresponsible to do considering he’s in concussion protocol. Good to see his priorities are his social life instead of playing football," one fan said.

Malik Nabers was hurt during the Giants' 20-15 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sept. 26. He missed last Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks and his participation in the Cincinnati Bengals game is up in the air as of right now.

Malik Nabers injury update

The latest update on Malik Nabers' health isn't that promising, as the star rookie hasn't advanced to the next step in his recovery. His chances to return to the field against the Bengals on Sunday night appear to be getting slimmer, which would be a big blow for the Giants.

Nabers is still in the third stage of the five-step protocol, Tom Canavan of AP reports. He was allowed to stretch on the field and get some work done with trainers away from the rest of the Giants players, but Brian Daboll said he's in the same situation he was on Wednesday.

If Nabers wants to be good to go against the Bengals, he needs to be cleared by a team doctor and an independent neurologist after returning to non-contact practice.

Friday's practice session will be crucial for Nabers and the Giants, but after this update, it doesn't seem like he'll be returning to the field this Sunday. He leads the NFL in receptions (35) while racking up 386 receiving yards and three receiving touchdowns after four games during his rookie season.
