Malik Nabers made his return for the New York Giants against the Dallas Cowboys on September 13, catching six passes for 69 yards in a 28-20 victory. This marked his first game since undergoing ACL surgery, following a lengthy rehabilitation. John Harbaugh, the Giants' head coach, attempted to tackle Nabers during practice to help ease his nerves about taking hits, which Nabers recounts humorously. He was limited to 36 offensive snaps but is expected to take on a larger role in upcoming games. The Giants face the Los Angeles Rams next on September 18.
