Questão 14

Read the text to answer questions from 11 to 14. New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers has not practiced while recovering from a persisting toe injury. While the concussion has affected his availability thus far, Giants coach Brian Daboll said there were no concerns about Nabers potentially missing training camp. Nabers' toe injury dates back to his days at Louisiana State University (LSU), though it does not require a procedural fix. It didn't cause him to miss any time as a rookie with the Giants in 2024. He was sidelined for two games while recovering from a concussion. In spite of that, Nabers still made the All-Rookie Team and earned a Pro Bowl bid after catching 109 passes for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns. He broke New York's single-season receptions record in the process, surpassing Steve Smith, and set the National Football League (NFL) record for most receptions by a rookie.
