The New York Giants face uncertainty heading into the 2026 season due to the recovery status of wide receiver Malik Nabers. Head coach John Harbaugh described the ACL injury from last year as complex, requiring multiple surgeries with no firm return timeline. This situation affects quarterback Jaxson Dart's second year.
Nabers missed the final 13 games of the 2025 season after tearing his ACL. Harbaugh stated this week that the injury involved more than a simple knee issue. He added that Nabers is working hard daily but that predicting a return remains impossible. The stated goal is for Nabers to start the season and appear in training camp.
