Giants Face Short-Term Question Over Malik Nabers' Shoulder

The team's next full practice and medical checks will determine whether he can resume a normal role or require a reduced snap and target plan for the upcoming game.

Overview

  • Nabers hurt his shoulder on a sideline catch in the most recent game, left and later returned, and finished with one catch for one yard on four targets.
  • The latest injury report listed him as limited but that designation was influenced by a team walkthrough rather than a full practice, leaving his true readiness unclear.
  • Coaches and medical staff will use the next full practice and evaluations to judge whether Nabers can take contact and be used normally or must have his workload cut.
  • Nabers returned this season from a 2025 ACL and meniscus reconstruction and had six catches for 69 yards in the opener, making his availability a key factor for the passing attack.
  • If he remains limited, the Giants are likely to redistribute his targets, rely more on depth and the recent quarterback change, and adjust the game plan for Tennessee.
