Nabers disputes cleanup surgery date; on track for Week 1 vs. Cowboys.

Malik NabersWR

Giants WR Malik Nabers contested the reported date of his second knee surgery at training camp. A May report from The Athletic's Dan Duggan stated the cleanup procedure took place 'multiple weeks ago' to remove scar tissue causing stiffness, but Nabers said 'I didn't have it on that date' and 'I never had it on that date,' without revealing when the procedure actually occurred. Nabers initially underwent ACL and meniscus surgery on Oct. 28, 2025. ACL tears typically don't require more than a nine-month recovery. The Giants have remained hopeful Nabers will be ready for their 2026 season opener against Dallas on Sept. 13 and he avoided the PUP list to begin training camp.
