Malik Nabers, wide receiver for the New York Giants, may join live team drills as early as Monday. He has been recovering from multiple knee surgeries and participated in a no-contact jog during practice while wearing a red jersey. Head coach John Harbaugh indicated that Nabers could ramp up his participation soon, although he is unlikely to play in the upcoming preseason game against the Miami Dolphins this Saturday. The Giants face the Cowboys in their season-opener on September 13, and Nabers' status for that game remains uncertain as he has not yet engaged in competitive drills.
