Giants’ Malik Nabers Set for ACL and Meniscus Surgery This Week

Doctors declined shoulder surgery, with rehab expected to position him for a summer return.

Overview

  • The Giants star will have surgery this week to repair a torn ACL and torn meniscus, ending his 2025 season.
  • Team expectations point to clearance by 2026 training camp if recovery tracks normally, with reporting indicating the meniscus repair likely will not extend the timeline.
  • Doctors weighed operating on a partially torn labrum before deciding against it, and both the shoulder and chronic turf toe will be managed non‑operatively during knee rehab.
  • Nabers was injured in the Week 4 win over the Chargers while attempting to catch a deep pass down the right sideline, and an MRI confirmed the ACL and meniscus damage.
  • No major receiver addition is anticipated, leaving Darius Slayton, Wan'Dale Robinson and Jalin Hyatt to absorb targets alongside the tight ends.
