Malik Nabers' Goal is to be Ready for Start of the Season
New York Giants head coach John Harbaugh said that wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) is in the slog of (his rehab, the grind of it," according to Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network. The goal is for Nabers to be ready for the start of the 2026 regular season and to get on the field at some point during training camp this summer. "If he's out there, great," Harbaugh said. Nabers' rehab is taking longer because he tore both his ACL and meniscus early last season, but there's still a chance the talented pass-catcher will be ready for a Week 1 showdown on Sunday Night Football against the division-rival Dallas Cowboys. It was recently reported that Nabers also had a clean-up procedure on his surgically-repaired knee to remove scar tissue, adding to the uncertainty about whether Nabers will actually be ready for Week 1 this fall. His status for the start of training camp will be a closely followed storyline, and it's clear from Harbaugh's comments that the Giants are unsure of how active he'll be at the start of camp in late July. The former first-rounder out of LSU has elite WR1 potential in fantasy when he's fully healthy, but the uncertainty around his recovery from a serious knee injury may cause him to fall into the lower WR1 tier.
