Malik Nabers Impresses in Limited Work at Giants' First Training Camp

Coaches will monitor his surgically repaired knee day-to-day to avoid rushing his return.

Overview

  • Nabers took part in more individual drills than expected during the Giants' opening camp workout and drew visible praise from coach John Harbaugh and quarterback Jaxson Dart.
  • He is nine months removed from surgery to repair a torn ACL and a partially torn lateral meniscus in his right knee and has done controlled running and cutting in recent days.
  • Harbaugh said trainers will judge Nabers' workload day-to-day based on how the knee feels and reacts and that the team will not put a fixed timetable on his return.
  • Receiver availability matters for the offense because Nabers was a breakout rookie with 109 catches for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns, and the Giants have added veterans to provide depth.
  • Running back Cam Skattebo also returned to practice and passed initial work, underscoring Harbaugh's careful, medically driven approach to managing recovery for key players.
