Nabers had incredible rookie volume (11.3 targets per game, 35% target share) and started 2024 strong (12.1 targets, 37.7% target share) before suffering a torn ACL that required delayed surgery due to swelling. Puka Uno expects the injury to linger through training camp and into the season. While the upgraded coaching staff and Jackson Dart as QB represent improvements, Uno is hesitant to project Nabers with confidence due to past mistakes underestimating injury recovery timelines.
