Per the report from NOLA.com, Nabers told officers that he did not have a permit to carry the weapon when questioned. Police took the gun away for evidence, the New Orleans Police Department announced (per NOLA.com).
Nabers formed a dynamic receiving tandem alongside Kayshon Boutte, who declared for the NFL Draft back in late December.
