Giants WR Malik Nabers was on the field Wednesday with teammates from the beginning of practice and moving well as New York began practice for Sunday's season-opening game against the Dallas Cowboys. Neither the Giants nor Nabers have committed to the 2024 first-round pick playing on Sunday, but the signs point toward that happening. Nabers practiced all summer with no real hiccups as he worked his way back from two surgeries to repair a torn ACL suffered in Week 4 of the 2025 season and was listed as a full practice participant while the Giants practiced in full pads.PositiveInjurySep 10, 2026

With hopes rising that the star wide receiver recovering from a torn ACL could play in the Sept. 13 season-opener against Dallas, the change in routine raises concerns about his Week 1 availability. Head coach John Harbaugh downplayed the significance, calling it 'just part of the process' as Nabers recovers from the pair of surgeries to repair his knee.NegativeInjurySep 2, 2026

Giants head coach John Harbaugh said it is "reasonable" to think Nabers has a chance to play in the Sept. 13 season-opener against Dallas, though Harbaugh stopped short of predicting Week 1 availability.PositiveInjuryAug 23, 2026

Wide receiver Malik Nabers, slowly working back from his torn ACL, showed significant progress at New York Giants training camp on Friday, doing individual drills and routes on air. He moved fluidly and was willing to plant and cut hard off his surgically repaired leg, looking the best he has all summer. Head coach John Harbaugh confirmed Nabers will be "working his way back into practice more and more" and noted the rehabilitation team has been creating unpredictable, off-balance situations to prepare him for the awkwardness of live football rather than just standard rehab.NegativeDepth ChartAug 3, 2026

Malik Nabers is not expected to start training camp on the PUP list, which is positive news for the New York Giants. Nabers suffered a torn ACL with additional meniscus damage in Week 4 of the prior season against the Los Angeles Chargers. He required surgery to repair both the ACL and meniscus, plus an additional cleanup surgery in the off-season that had raised questions about his readiness for the 2026 season and training camp. His clearance to participate in training camp without PUP designation suggests improved recovery trajectory.
