Malik Nabers Returns to Limited On-Field Work at Giants Training Camp

His staged drills and the team’s decision not to put him on the PUP list keep a path to Week 1 open while the organization says they will monitor his knee day by day.

Overview

  • Nabers has resumed controlled activity at camp, running routes and doing individual receiver drills as part of a phased rehab program rather than taking full-contact reps.
  • The Giants did not place him on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list, which preserves the option for him to practice in camp and remain eligible for the season opener instead of being forced to miss at least four games.
  • He missed a recent practice as part of a planned approach, and head coach John Harbaugh and team medical staff described the absence as expected management of workload rather than a new setback.
  • Positive camp reports have already shifted analysts’ and prediction-market evaluations of both Nabers and the Giants, but Nabers and the team are refusing to name a target return date and emphasize a day-by-day process.
  • Nabers, the No. 6 pick in 2024 who posted 109 catches for 1,204 yards and seven TDs as a rookie, had a spring ‘clean-up’ procedure on his knee and remains the key offensive variable for quarterback Jaxson Dart and the Giants’ game plan.
