    It was a simple question and it elicited a simple answer.

    “What is Malik going to do today?,’’ Giants coach Brian Daboll was asked Thursday before practice.

    “Practice,’’ Daboll said.

    Just like that, rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers was back on the field, a welcome sight for a Giants’ offense that is sure to rely on him early and often this season.

    And, get this: There is a chance Nabers plays Saturday afternoon in Houston against the Texans in preseason game No. 2 for the Giants.

    “We’ll go through practice and figure it out like we normally do,’’ Daboll said. “But I’d say there’s definitely a chance.’’

    Don’t bristle at what Daniel Jones’ scruffy new look could mean for the Giants

    Nabers hurt his left ankle while running last Sunday and sat out the next two training camp practices.

    He said Tuesday he has “no doubt’’ he will be ready to make his NFL debut Sept. 8 in the regular-season opener against the Vikings.

    Nabers was diagnosed with a low-ankle sprain and his return to the field four days later is a good sign for his availability as early as this weekend.

    There was another positive injury development for the Giants, as rookie running back Tyrone Tracy participated in individual drills Thursday.

    That is quite remarkable, considering this past Tuesday he went down with what looked to be a serious lower leg injury, carted off the field, with an air cast applied after his right leg buckled after he muffed a kickoff.

    As it turned out, Tracy suffered a low ankle sprain and is considered week-to-week, although he looked fine running two days after the incident.
