Malik Nabers returns to practice for New York Giants ahead of Cowboys game
Summary

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers was a full participant in team practice on Wednesday. This marks his return to game week activity after missing significant time due to an ACL injury sustained last season. Head coach John Harbaugh confirmed the receiver is expected to be available for the upcoming season opener against the Dallas Cowboys. The Sunday night matchup will serve as the first test for a Dallas secondary that has undergone significant personnel changes under defensive coordinator Christian Parker. Nabers enters the game with a track record of production against Dallas, having recorded nearly 100 receiving yards per game across three previous career meetings. Both teams enter the contest looking to implement new schemes, with the defensive improvements in Dallas facing their first live competition.
