On the football field, there’s no mistaking New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers. On the road, however, it’s a different story.
Nabers, 22, was arrested by police after a report of a road rage incident involving someone driving a vehicle similar to his in Paramus, New Jersey, on Tuesday, according to NFL Network. According to another report, the individual brandished a gun during the incident.
Nabers’ car was searched, but no weapons were found and no summons was issued.

The Giants receiver was allowed to leave after it was determined to be a case of mistaken identity, according to the report. It is unclear whether police found the individual they were looking for.
The former LSU star is currently recovering from a torn ACL he suffered during the Giants’ Week 4 win over the Los Angeles Chargers last season.
Nabers underwent two surgeries on his injured knee. He initially underwent ACL and meniscus surgery on October 28. The second surgery was performed in the spring to remove scar tissue that was causing stiffness, according to The Athletic.
The second surgery is not expected to affect Nabers’ recovery timetable.

Nabers was on his way to a dominant sophomore season before the injury. In four games, he had 18 catches for 271 yards and two touchdowns.
As a rookie, Nabers caught a franchise record 109 passes for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns despite poor quarterback play.
The Giants hope Nabers continues to thrive as the team’s No. 1 wide receiver for Dart, despite revamping their wide receiver room this offseason.

Wan’Dale Robinson left in free agency for the Tennessee Titans after catching 92 passes for 1,014 yards and four touchdowns last season. To replace him, the Giants signed Darnell Mooney and Calvin Austin III in free agency.
In the NFL Draft, they traded up in the third round to draft Malachi Fields. The Giants also signed tight end Isaiah Likely, giving the 23-year-old quarterback another weapon.
This week, they signed a trio of wide receivers – Odell Beckham Jr., JuJu Smith-Schuster and Braxton Berrios – giving them enough depth if Nabers misses the moment to start the season.
