Overview
- The Giants listed Malik Nabers as questionable after he practiced fully all week but left the final call to the player, with the decision resolved before kickoff on Sunday.
- New York elevated and signed receivers including Dalen Cambre and Braxton Berrios over the weekend as short-term insurance in case Nabers did not play.
- Pregame signals — a public-address mention, a supervised warm-up and Nabers telling staff he was ready — preceded the team announcing him active for the game.
- Nabers is returning from a right ACL tear and subsequent follow-up procedure that cost most of his 2025 season, and the team emphasized caution during his ramp-up.
- His activation gives quarterback Jaxson Dart a top target for Week 1 while the Giants balance immediate game plans with protecting Nabers’ long-term health.
