Giants' Malik Nabers Says Back Issue Is Minor, On Track for Week 1

New York continues a cautious workload plan that coincides with Nabers’ growing rapport with Russell Wilson.

Overview

  • Nabers returned to practice last Monday after about 12 days out and did not play in the final two preseason games as starters were rested.
  • He called the back problem "a minor thing" and said nothing makes him think he won’t be ready for Sept. 7 at Washington.
  • Team observers described the absence as precautionary camp tightness, aligning with earlier toe and shoulder management this offseason.
  • Nabers and Russell Wilson worked together in San Diego and throughout camp, with both reporting they are on the same page.
  • Following a 2024 rookie year with 170 targets, 109 receptions and 1,204 yards, fantasy analysts rank him as a top-tier early-round option with Wilson at quarterback.
