Malik NabersWRNYG
Star receiver tore his right ACL in Week 4 of the 2025 season and underwent surgery to repair the ligament and meniscus damage; required a second procedure on the same knee in spring, a sign that recovery was not progressing well. As a rookie, he posted 109 catches on 170 targets for 1,204 yards in 15 games and had ascended to the Giants' No. 1 receiver role, prompting the team to let Wan'Dale Robinson leave in free agency. If Nabers misses regular-season time, the Giants' receiving corps could be one of the oldest and least effective in the league.
