Giants Provide Malik Nabers Injury Update for 2025 Season Opener

The New York Giants are navigating a series of injury concerns as their offseason program continues, with star wide receiver Malik Nabers' status for the start of the regular season remaining uncertain. Head coach John Harbaugh provided an update on Nabers' recovery from a significant knee injury during the team's organized team activities this week.

Nabers, who set a franchise rookie record with 109 receptions for 1,204 yards in 2024, saw his 2025 campaign end in Week 4 after tearing the ACL and meniscus in his right knee. He underwent an initial surgery last October and required a follow-up procedure this offseason to remove scar tissue that was causing stiffness. Harbaugh described the rehabilitation process as a difficult grind, acknowledging the injury is not a simple one. He stated that while the goal is for Nabers to return at some point in training camp and be ready for the season opener, his timeline is impossible to predict with certainty.

The Giants open their season at home against the Dallas Cowboys on September 13. Harbaugh emphasized the team will be prepared regardless of Nabers' availability, but noted the receiver is working hard every day to return.
