New York Giants prepare to allow Malik Nabers to practice with contact
Summary

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers may participate in contact practices starting this week as he recovers from a torn ACL and meniscus. Head coach John Harbaugh indicated that while it's possible Nabers could begin hitting in practice soon, it is not essential at this time with the season opener still three weeks away. Nabers has made progress following multiple surgeries and was a key contributor in his rookie season, finishing with 1,204 receiving yards and seven touchdowns in 2024 before suffering his injury in 2025. His anticipated return could solidify his position as the team's No. 1 receiver for the upcoming season.
