NFC Notes: Tommy DeVito, Malik Nabers, Dak Prescott, Cowboys, Giants

Cowboys

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott explained how hard it is to watch his team struggle while heโ€™s sidelined.

โ€œThe other day, after the game, I guess, it all just hit me,โ€ Prescott said, via Around The NFL. โ€œBoom, right. A couple of tears came down. This is going to hurt. Itโ€™s going to suck at times. You just have to understand this is one of the moments that it does. I donโ€™t want anything right now other than to let it suck. Itโ€™s understanding and being able to voice that, โ€˜yeah, Iโ€™m blessed to be where Iโ€™m at.โ€™โ€

Prescottโ€™s ligaments continued to tear off of his pelvis. Even the slightest movements caused the injury to continually worsen which caused him to undergo surgery.

โ€œIt started to lift off the bone even more,โ€ Prescott said. โ€œThat one was doing all the work, and now it was compromised. Hell, I had a week of not even playing football, just walking and normal movement and that was tearing it.โ€

Despite having some wins in his personal life, Prescott is going through one of the lowest points in his professional career.

โ€œItโ€™s been a tough year personally with my emotions because itโ€™s a roller coaster,โ€ Prescott said. โ€œItโ€™s truly been ups and downs. I would say riding a wave Iโ€™m constantly preaching about not riding. Off the field, itโ€™s been some of the most joyous times I ever could have imagined, or dreamed of. Having a child, getting engaged, starting a family. But then on the football field, itโ€™s probably been as tough of a season as Iโ€™ve ever had. Iโ€™d probably say the toughest.โ€

Giants

Giants WR Malik Nabers was visibly frustrated after a Week 12 loss where he didnโ€™t record a reception until the second half. New York HC Brian Daboll addressed Nabersโ€™ comments and expressed their desire to get the ball in Nabersโ€™ hands as much as possible.

โ€œHeโ€™s a very competitive individual,โ€ Daboll said, via SNYGiants. โ€œAgain, you want to get the ball in his hands and Iโ€™ve got to do a better job of getting the ball in his hands early. Heโ€™s a smart, young guy thatโ€™s very competitive. When you lose like that, itโ€™s a very frustrating thing but weโ€™ve good communication as we always have.โ€

  • Nabers spoke with GM Joe Schoen and Daboll after complaining about lack of involvement and saw a few attempts to get him involved on film: โ€œI still stand by what I said. I have no regrets with what I said.โ€ (Pat Leonard)

Giants

Despite the change to QB Tommy DeVito from Daniel Jones, Giants WR Malik Nabers said he wasnโ€™t worried about a production dip and feels he can produce with anyone. 

โ€œI mean I can establish chemistry with anybody, I think,โ€ Nabers said, via Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk. โ€œIโ€™m able to get open, Iโ€™m able to create separation. So, I mean thatโ€™s a plus for him for sure. Heโ€™s comfortable throwing me the ball.โ€
