Malik Nabers participates in team drills with Giants for first time

Summary

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers participated in live 11-on-11 and 7-on-7 drills on August 17, marking a significant milestone in his recovery from a torn ACL suffered in 2025. Wearing a red non-contact jersey, Nabers caught all three passes thrown to him by starting quarterback Jaxson Dart during the 7-on-7 drills. Head coach John Harbaugh noted that while Nabers showed promise, he is not yet fully recovered. This development raises expectations for his potential return when the Giants face the Dallas Cowboys on September 13. Nabers emphasized the importance of his health and incremental progress in his rehabilitation.
