What happened: Malik Nabers was unsure enough about playing Sunday night that his family skipped the game, not wanting to feel like they let him down if he sat out. He didn't decide to play until roughly two hours before kickoff. Jordan Raanan reported additional details on the receiver's pregame decision.
Why it matters: The late call means the Giants came close to opening the season without the same Nabers who was listed as questionable for the Cowboys game days earlier. It adds context to how uncertain his availability remained right up until the opener.
What to watch: Watch for Raanan's fuller account of what changed Nabers' mind before kickoff.
