Overview
- Malik Nabers underwent right ACL reconstruction on Oct. 28 after a month of prehab, with the team calling the procedure successful and rehabilitation set to begin after hospital discharge.
- Ian Rapoport reported that Nabers also had a meniscus repair during the operation, and ESPN reported the surgeon was Cowboys head team physician Dr. Daniel E. Cooper.
- Medical guidance and reporting peg a typical ACL return at roughly 9–12 months, leaving Nabers’ availability for the very start of the 2026 season plausible but not certain.
- Rookie RB Cam Skattebo had emergency surgery in Philadelphia on Oct. 26 for an open ankle dislocation, with additional injuries reported as a fibula fracture and deltoid ligament rupture.
- The Giants placed Skattebo on injured reserve and expect a 4–6 month recovery per multiple reports, positioning him for offseason program participation as the 2–6 team turns to Tyrone Tracy Jr. and others at running back.
