Malik Nabers participates in full practice before Giants season opener
Summary

Wide receiver Malik Nabers returned to a full practice on Wednesday following his recovery from a right ACL tear sustained last season. The Giants are preparing for their season opener against the Cowboys, though coach John Harbaugh stopped short of confirming the receiver's participation in the game. Nabers previously indicated a desire to avoid a snap count upon his return to the field. He produced nine catches for 167 yards and two touchdowns against the Cowboys during a Week 2 meeting last year. Joining Nabers in full participation were tight end Theo Johnson, offensive lineman Bryan Hudson, defensive lineman Shelby Harris, and offensive tackle Andrew Thomas. Every player on the Giants' 53-man roster practiced on Wednesday as the team continues preparations for the upcoming matchup.
