Malik Nabers: Everything you need to know

Giants head coach John Harbaugh said Thursday that Nabers (knee) is in the "slog of [his rehab], the grind of it," with the goal of returning to practice at some point in training camp, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. Nabers tore his meniscus in addition to his ACL last fall, creating fears about an extended rehab timeline relative to other ACL injuries. Those concerns were compounded in mid-May when it was revealed that Nabers had undergone a minor procedure in April to remove scar tissue that was causing stiffness in his surgically-repaired knee. The Giants said the procedure wasn't expected to impact Nabers' timeline, but it does seem clear that he won't take part in offseason practices and won't be a full-go for the start of training camp. Week 1 may still be the goal, but Harbaugh seemed to acknowledge Thursday that he can't count on Nabers being ready by that point.

Nabers had a procedure on his knee "multiple weeks ago" to remove scar tissue, but the Giants don't anticipate any change to the wideout's recovery timeline, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports. Nabers initially had surgery Oct. 28 to address ACL and meniscus tears in his right knee. He then dealt with stiffness in the knee this spring and had the clean-up procedure at some point in April. The Giants reportedly still hope Nabers will be ready for Week 1, but it's not looking especially good for his full participation at the start of training camp. He'll likely remain limited to meetings and rehab work during the offseason program, ceding first-team WR reps to the likes of Darius Slayton, Darnell Mooney, Calvin Austin and Malachi Fields.

Nabers (knee) is present for the Giants' first day of voluntary workouts Tuesday. Nabers is progressing from ACL and meniscus tears that he suffered to his right knee in Week 4 of last season, and GM Joe Schoen said in late March that he's "hopeful" the star wide receiver will be ready for Week 1 of the 2026 campaign, per Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site. While it remains to be seen when Nabers will be ready to resume on-field drills, it's encouraging to see him in house and building familiarity with new head coach John Harbaugh's offense.
