Dealing with neck injury
Nubin (neck) did not practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Nubin played 93 percent of defensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Bears, so it's unclear when the injury occurred.

Active Sunday

ANALYSIS
Prior to dealing with a groin injury this week, Nubin missed just six defensive snaps through the Giants' first four games of the season.

Oct 3, 2025
Listed as questionable for Week 5
Nubin (groin) was a limited participant in Friday's practice and is questionable to play against New Orleans on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Nubin ended the week with consecutive limited practices after missing Wednesday's session due to a groin injury, which he may have picked up during the Giants' Week 4 win over the Chargers. His status for Sunday's game may not be announced until approximately 90 minutes before the 1:00pm ET kickoff, but Dane Belton would be a top candidate to start at safety alongside Jevon Holland if Nubin is not cleared to play. Nubin has registered 20 tackles (14 solo) through the first four games of the regular season.
Oct 2, 2025
Back at practice Thursday
Nubin (groin) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Nubin recorded five tackles (all solo) in Sunday's overtime defeat against Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Nubin recorded four of his tackles on defense and one on special teams. He's logged 11 tackles through two weeks while playing every one of the Giants' defensive snaps. Nubin is a high-floor option in terms of tackle totals as an IDP, though his ceiling is limited by the fact that he's yet to pick off a pass as a pro.

Recovering well from ankle surgery
Nubin (ankle) expects to be ready to participate fully in team activities during the upcoming offseason, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
ANALYSIS
Nubin needed a tightrope surgery after suffering a high right ankle sprain in Week 14 versus the Saints, but he believes he's already relatively close to being back to full strength. He projects to start at safety again for the Giants in 2025 after a promising rookie season.

ANALYSIS
Nubin was placed on injured reserve this past Wednesday due to the ankle injury. The rookie second-round pick had played all but two defensive snaps in the 12 regular-season games prior to the Giants' Week 14 loss, and he'll end his 2024 campaign with 98 tackles (57 solo), one pass defense, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 13 games. Dane Belton will serve as the Giants' starting strong safety for the last three games of the 2024 regular season.

Likely needs ankle surgery

ANALYSIS
Nubin, a 2024 second-round pick, put together an impressive rookie campaign across 12 appearances, recording 98 total tackles, one pass defended and one forced fumble. He'll now turn his attention toward making a full recovery from the ankle injury he sustained during New York's loss to the Saints in Week 14.

ANALYSIS

Dealing with knee injury
Nubin (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS

ANALYSIS

Nov 27, 2024
Will play at Dallas
Nubin (back) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Thursday's game against the Cowboys.
ANALYSIS
Nubin was limited at practice all week by a lingering back issue, but he'll play through it again in Week 13. He projects as a serviceable IDP option in most formats against Dallas' pass-heavy offense.

ANALYSIS
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.

Nov 25, 2024
Records 12 stops again in loss

ANALYSIS
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.

With 81 stops on the season, he ranks second on New York behind only Bobby Okereke (83).

The 2024 second-round pick from Minnesota is likely to play through the issue in Sunday's matchup against Tampa Bay unless he downgrades to no participation Thursday or Friday.

ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 7, 2024
Another impressive outing in Week 5
Nubin recorded nine total tackles (seven solo), including one tackle for loss, in Sunday's 29-20 win over the Seahawks.

ANALYSIS

Nubin was on the field for every one of the Giants' defensive snaps for the fourth straight week.
Sep 9, 2024
Paces team in tackles Week 1
Nubin tallied seven tackles (five solo) in Sunday's loss to Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
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.
Sep 4, 2024
Could play role Week 1
Nubin may have the opportunity to start at free safety Sunday against the Vikings with Dane Belton (back) currently questionable, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
ANALYSIS

Aug 1, 2024
Back in action
Nubin (calf) returned to practice Thursday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Nubin had been out of action since first missing practice Friday. The Giants' 2024 second-round selection's return to the field should see him competing for a role in the team's secondary. He is currently listed behind Dane Belton at strong safety on the team's depth chart.
Jul 29, 2024
Missing Monday's practice
Head coach Brian Daboll told reporters that Nubin (calf) will miss Monday's practice, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The 2024 second-round pick out of Minnesota has been hindered by both ankle and calf injuries to begin his NFL career. During Nubin's last three collegiate seasons, the defensive back racked up 160 total tackles and 12 interceptions (five in 2023) across 36 games. Once the rookie returns to full health, he's expected to compete with Dane Belton for the for the Giants' top strong safety spot, per Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post. If Nubin wins that job, he could be a valuable IDP piece in 2024.
Jul 26, 2024
Being bothered by ankle
Nubin is missing practice due to an ankle injury, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Fortunately for the Giants and Nubin, the issue isn't considered to be serious. He probably won't be out long, but until Nubin is back in playing shape, 2022 fourth-rounder Dane Belton figures to see more opportunities to make an impression during team drills.
