Malik Nabers Is Active for Giants’ Season Opener vs. Cowboys, 350 Days Since His Torn ACL
Malik Nabers returns after missing most of last season with a torn ACL, and the Giants expect him to handle a full workload.
New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers is active for Sunday's season opener against the Dallas Cowboys, returning from a torn ACL sustained in Week 4 of the 2025 season.
Despite practicing fully all week, Nabers maintained a questionable designation until shortly before kickoff, telling reporters on Thursday he would not be rushed unless completely at peace with his readiness.
Nabers completed a 12-minute pre-game workout under Giants Coordinator of Rehabilitation and Return Allison Boudreau, flashing two thumbs up before joining warm-up drills with starter Jaxson Dart at MetLife Stadium.
The Giants elevated wide receivers Braxton Berrios and Dalen Cambre to the 53-man roster on Saturday, securing depth as Nabers returns as the primary offensive option following his 109 receptions for 1,204 receiving yards as a rookie.
Tonight marks a reunion for Nabers and starting quarterback Jaxson Dart, who have played less than one half of meaningful football together after Nabers suffered a season-ending injury during Dart's first career start last season.
