Nabers, remember, not only tore his ACL, he also tore his meniscus. So that’s two ligaments that were repaired and which need to feel right to him before he goes out there.

Nabers is doing everything on the football field and is cleared to play; the decision to play vs. Dallas is largely in his own hands. He expressed willingness to return but acknowledged the need to protect his career: "I've been wanting to play for so long now. At the end of the day, I can't put my career at risk. I got to take that into account. There's a lot of football that I still have left to play."

I'm hoping we get answers by Sunday AM, but with Malik Nabers playing on SNF, there are only so many pivot options. I'd be playing Washington/Burden types if nothing changes. I'll be updating Week 1 rankings on Yahoo today.

This does not mean Nabers isn’t playing, from what I gather. My read is that this covers them either way with two PSQ elevations still to come today (definitely Braxton Berrios, possibly Malik Harrison). No guarantee Cambre is active tomorrow. [Retweeted](

Nabers is expected to play but with significant snap count limitations in Week 1 following injury recovery. The source expects he will not immediately perform at his 2024 level; his primary value early in the season will be opening up the offense for other receivers rather than being a featured target himself.

The source expects Nabers to play a limited number of snaps in Week 1 if he plays at all, with the hope that his presence alone opens up the offense for others rather than expecting him to perform at his 2024 level right away.

Malik Nabers' start/sit decision is context-dependent: gamers behind after poor performances from Drake Maye, Matthew Stafford, Davante Adams, or A.J. Brown should embrace the risk and start Nabers for upside; gamers in favorable positions should fade the risk; gamers in tight matchups should wait for more clarity before kickoff or pivot to bench alternatives like J.K. Dobbins if Nabers is inactive.

Nabers is returning from a torn ACL and practiced in full this week; he told reporters it will be his decision whether to suit up, but the expectation is that he will play. If he suits up, he should start in all fantasy leagues. The Cowboys allowed the most yards, touchdowns, and fantasy points to receivers last season; Nabers had 167 yards and two touchdowns against them in Week 2 last season.

Full practice participant Thursday and Friday but downgraded to questionable on final injury report for Week 1 vs. Cowboys. Recovering from torn ACL and meniscus (2025 season-ending injury). Nabers stated he will 'let God tell me' on playing status, refusing to commit despite 12 months away from field. Article notes he has confidence in knee but won't guarantee availability. Community concern: his non-commitment despite full practice suggests he may sit out entirely or play limited snaps; one comment notes 'he's saying he's not committing to a full game or even a play if he doesn't feel 100%.' Uncertainty creates major fantasy lineup headache with Sunday night game timing.

Nabers was a full participant in practice on Friday but remains listed as questionable for Sunday night's game against the Cowboys in the Giants' regular season opener. He tore his ACL late last September and has stated he doesn't want to return until he feels able to play an entire game without limitations due to his knee. Giants head coach John Harbaugh called him 'ready to go' on Wednesday, but Nabers acknowledged on Thursday that missing the game is a possibility and that the team is 'leaving the decision up' to him. Practice signs suggest he is ready for full involvement, but official status won't be confirmed until closer to kickoff.
