Nabers is on the comeback trail from a pair of surgeries to repair a torn ACL and just began participating in a handful of team drills this week while wearing a red, non-contact jersey. He will travel with the Giants to Miami but won't take part in team drills on Thursday or play in Saturday's preseason game. Head coach John Harbaugh stated Nabers won't go through the rest of the summer in a red jersey and will be out of it before he plays in a game, as he needs to get bumped around and hit in a controlled practice setting before facing defenders from other teams.NegativeInjuryAug 21, 2026
WR Malik Nabers is on the comeback trail from a pair of surgeries to repair a torn ACL. He just began participating in a handful of team drills this week while wearing a red, non-contact jersey. Nabers will travel with the Giants to Miami but won't take part in team drills on Thursday or play in Saturday's preseason game. The Giants want to get Nabers involved in some degree of physicality in a controlled practice setting before exposing him to defenders on other teams. Head coach John Harbaugh said Nabers won't go through the rest of the summer in a red jersey and will be out of it before he plays in a game; he will have to get bumped around and hit and fronted up so he knows how to deal with it to protect himself.NegativeInjuryAug 21, 2026

Receiver Malik Nabers is recovering from injuries to his ACL and meniscus with no certainty he will be cleared to practice without restrictions at the start of training camp. The source warns not to assume the Giants' best offensive player will be ready by the start of the season. If Nabers cannot go, the Giants will attempt to patch together a passing game with receivers like Darius Slayton, Calvin Austin III, Darnell Mooney, and Odell Beckham Jr., and the source does not envision much explosive passing from New York until Nabers returns.NegativeInjuryJul 24, 2026
Giants WR Malik Nabers will avoid the PUP list after suffering a torn ACL with additional meniscus damage in Week 4 last season. He underwent surgery to repair both the ACL and meniscus, plus a cleanup surgery in the offseason. Despite these concerns, he is trending toward being ready for Week 1 against the Dallas Cowboys, which is better news than the possibility of missing the first four weeks on the PUP list.NegativeRoleJul 23, 2026
The source notes that Nabers criticized John Harbaugh's NFL Draft picks while his return from a serious knee injury remained a mystery heading into the 2026 season. Nabers was the No. 6 pick in 2024 and was a big part of the Giants' 3-14 team in 2025, but his status and role remain uncertain under the new coaching regime.NegativeInjuryJul 22, 2026
Giants WR tore his right ACL in Week 4 of 2025 and underwent surgery to repair the ligament and meniscus damage. He required a second procedure on the same knee in spring, signaling recovery complications. New coach John Harbaugh called the injury "not a simple knee" and targeted training camp return, but any delay could indicate more complicated recovery than anticipated. As a rookie, Nabers posted 109 catches on 170 targets for 1,204 yards in 15 games and was ascending to the Giants' No. 1 receiver role; if he misses regular-season time, the Giants' receiving corps could be one of the oldest and least effective in the league.
