Top receiver Malik Nabers takes a ‘big step’ forward at Giants training camp
Malik Nabers moved into team no-contact drills as the Giants continue a cautious ramp-up from his torn ACL and meniscus, teammates said.
- On Wednesday, New York Giants Head Coach John Harbaugh detailed a new practice plan to ramp up Pro Bowl wide receiver Malik Nabers toward full participation, marking a significant step in his recovery from a 2025 knee injury.
- Nabers suffered a torn ACL and meniscus in the 2025 season, spending most of training camp performing individual drills before recently advancing to team workouts.
- During Thursday's practice, Nabers collided with receivers coach Chad Hall while simulating a cornerback, leaving Hall requiring stitches; Hall returned to work, joking that "The Novocaine's wearing off a little bit."
- Wearing a red non-contact jersey, Nabers caught passes from quarterback Jaxson Dart, drawing cheers from teammates as Coach Harbaugh noted the emotional significance of the milestone.
- With the season opener against the Dallas Cowboys scheduled for Sept. 13, the Giants aim to increase Nabers' participation in 11 on 11 drills, balancing his development within the new offensive system against full recovery.
