Overview
- Giants coach John Harbaugh said May 21 that Nabers is “in the slog” of rehab after a torn right ACL and meniscus and a later procedure to remove scar tissue.
- The follow‑up arthroscopic 'clean up' was done to remove stiffness-causing scar tissue and sources reported it was routine but recovery remains hard to predict.
- Harbaugh called the knee injury complex and declined to guarantee Week 1 availability, saying the goal is for Nabers to get into training camp but the timetable is 'impossible to predict.'
- New York has added receiver depth this offseason—including Darnell Mooney, Calvin Austin III and rookie Malachi Fields—to cover for a possible Nabers absence or limited snaps.
- Nabers was the Giants' breakout rookie in 2024 with 109 catches for 1,204 yards and seven TDs, so his availability will materially affect how the team uses Jaxson Dart and structures early‑season reps.
