Giants Uncertain when WR Malik Nabers (Knee) Will Return
The wide receiver underwent a second procedure to address scar tissue and meniscus damage following his Week 4 ACL tear.
- On Thursday, New York Giants head coach John Harbaugh expressed uncertainty regarding star wide receiver Malik Nabers' availability for the season opener, emphasizing the recovery process is "not a simple" one.

- The Giants open their regular season on Sept. 13 against the Dallas Cowboys at MetLife Stadium, with training camp kicking off in mid-to-late July to evaluate Nabers' progress.
