Giants Rule Out Nabers and Skattebo for 2025 After Surgeries, With 2026 Returns Expected

Team and insider updates set rehab timelines that target participation in the offseason program if recoveries stay on course.

Overview

  • Malik Nabers underwent right‑knee ACL reconstruction with a meniscus repair on Oct. 28 and will miss the rest of the season, with NFL Network reporting he is expected to be ready for the start of 2026.
  • Rookie Cam Skattebo had emergency surgery in Philadelphia the night of his Oct. 26 injury to close an open ankle wound, a step taken to reduce infection risk, per team and NFL Network reports.
  • Further imaging and reporting say Skattebo’s damage included an ankle dislocation, an open lower‑leg fracture and a deltoid ligament rupture; he was placed on injured reserve on Oct. 28.
  • The projected recovery for Skattebo is roughly 4–6 months, and the Giants expect him to participate in OTAs and minicamp if rehabilitation proceeds without complications.
  • With their top receiver and lead running back sidelined, New York turns to Tyrone Tracy Jr. (and veteran Devin Singletary in support) as rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart navigates the remainder of a 2–6 campaign.
