Malik NabersWRNYG
Giants WR tore his right ACL in Week 4 of 2025 and underwent surgery to repair the ligament and meniscus damage. He required a second procedure on the same knee in spring, signaling recovery complications. New coach John Harbaugh called the injury "not a simple knee" and targeted training camp return, but any delay could indicate more complicated recovery than anticipated. As a rookie, Nabers posted 109 catches on 170 targets for 1,204 yards in 15 games and was ascending to the Giants' No. 1 receiver role; if he misses regular-season time, the Giants' receiving corps could be one of the oldest and least effective in the league.
