Nabers' Week 1 role contingent on confidence, medical clearance, and game-readiness.

Harbaugh indicated Nabers' playing time and capacity in Week 1 will depend on multiple factors: whether he will be at the level needed to help the Giants win, his confidence level, and his ability to protect himself. The coach emphasized that Nabers must feel confident and know he is ready, and that this will be an ongoing conversation involving doctors, trainers, the player, tape review, and performance metrics like running speed.
