New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers returned to full-contact practice on Monday after recovering from a torn ACL that ended his 2025 season. The receiver moved through training camp with managed repetitions and recently shed his non-contact jersey as he works toward a return to full health. Nabers acknowledged that he previously dealt with significant doubt regarding his ability to continue his career following a secondary surgery to address scar tissue. Veteran teammate Odell Beckham Jr. supported the recovery process by sharing insights from his own past experiences with knee injuries. While Nabers is increasing his workload on the practice field, he and the team have not committed to a specific return date for the regular season opener against the Dallas Cowboys. The focus remains on building enough trust in his physical condition to play through entire games without hesitation.
