Giants manage Malik Nabers as wide receiver recovers from knee surgery

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers enters the 2026 season with his status for the Week 1 opener against the Dallas Cowboys in doubt. Nabers spent much of last season sidelined after tearing the ACL and meniscus in his right knee. Although he recently underwent a procedure to remove scar tissue, team staff has limited his involvement during the preseason. He only resumed participation in team drills during mid-August. The wide receiver maintains his focus on returning to the field at full strength, though questions remain regarding his chemistry with quarterback Jaxson Dart. Fantasy managers are adjusting their projections for the wide receiver as his average draft position shifts to reflect uncertainty regarding his immediate workload.
