Giants' Malik Nabers Practices Without Noncontact Jersey

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers took a significant step in his recovery from a torn ACL on Monday, practicing without a red noncontact jersey for the first time this summer. The development, which occurred during the team's practice on August 25, 2026, is a strong indicator that the star receiver could be available for the season opener against the Dallas Cowboys on September 13. Head coach John Harbaugh confirmed the milestone, stating that Nabers was "probably moving the best we've seen him look" since returning to the field. Harbaugh noted that the practice was a good test for Nabers, who will now participate in "very reasonable" contact drills this week.
