Malik NabersWR
Nabers is targeting a career year after his rookie season (109 catches, 1,204 yards, 7 TDs) was cut short by ACL surgery that limited him to four games in 2025. He expressed extreme confidence in his recovery and stated his rookie production was "basic" and that he left "a lot of stuff on the field," signaling he expects to significantly exceed his first-year performance. His second procedure—a cleanup to remove scar tissue—occurred much earlier than previously reported, allowing him to avoid the physically unable to perform list at the start of camp.
