Giants’ Malik Nabers Undergoes ACL Surgery One Month After Injury

Pre-hab delayed the operation to quiet the knee for better recovery prospects.

Overview

  • The Giants said Nabers had right ACL reconstruction Tuesday and will begin rehabilitation after his hospital discharge on Wednesday.
  • The procedure came one month after his Sept. 28 injury against the Chargers, following a pre-operative period to let swelling subside and restore motion, as medical experts explained.
  • ESPN reported the surgery was performed by Cowboys head team physician Dr. Daniel E. Cooper.
  • Doctors cite a typical 9–12 month return-to-play window for ACL repairs, with meniscus involvement potentially adding early weight-bearing limits, making a 2026 training-camp return plausible but not guaranteed.
  • This was the team’s second significant surgery in three days, with rookie RB Cam Skattebo undergoing emergency ankle surgery Sunday and being discharged Monday; New York is 2-6.
