New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers logged full practice participation in each of the team's three sessions leading up to Sunday's Week 1 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.

When speaking to reporters on Thursday, Nabers said the Giants are leaving the ultimate decision up to him.

"I grinded my [expletive] off, excuse my language. I grinded, prayed hard, put in a consistent amount of work," Nabers said. "To be able to make the decision to play or not play."

"I've been wanting to play for so long now," he continued. "At the end of the day, I can't put my career at risk. I got to take that into account. There's a lot of football that I still have left to play."

The Giants will kick off against the Cowboys at 8:20 p.m. ET on Sunday.
