Malik Nabers is a risky draft pick due to lingering concerns regarding his knee injury and the overall outlook of the Giants' offense.

Harris is increasingly optimistic about Malik Nabers being ready for Week 1, noting that despite missing 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 work, camp observers report he looks excellent. Harris moved him into his top 20 receivers (16 standard, 17 PPR) and top 40 overall, suggesting a third-round draft pick is a strong value for a player with first-round talent, though he cautions against over-drafting him due to the inherent injury risk of his knee.NegativeUsageAug 7, 2026
Malik Nabers participated in some walkthrough periods against the defense, though he is not yet participating in full team activities.NegativeInjuryJul 14, 2026
Underwent a second knee procedure in April; ranked at 26 overall with significant uncertainty around recovery timeline and readiness. The source frames this as a placeholder rank with a wide range of outcomes: upside to 10 if he returns healthy and participates in preseason, but downside to 40 if he doesn't participate in training camp or preseason and starts the season on the PUP list. As of late July, no field participation or positive reports have emerged, which the source notes is unusual given the typical optimism around player health at this time of year.NegativeInjuryNo date
Nabers had a second knee procedure done earlier than reported and avoided the PUP list to start camp, which Harris notes is the most positive of possible forking paths for him. However, beat reporters in New York cry wolf frequently, and Nabers is still off to the side doing individual work rather than full team practice. Harris has not moved him up in the ranks yet and will need to look at the list, do soul searching, and pay attention to camp reports over the next couple of weeks to determine his upward mobility.
