Malik Nabers Activated for Giants' Week 1 Return

Pregame warmups followed by medical clearance prompted the Giants to activate him for the season opener.

Overview

  • The Giants confirmed Malik Nabers active for Sunday night’s Week 1 game after he was seen running routes and catching passes in pregame warmups.
  • Nabers is returning from a torn right ACL and meniscus suffered on Sept. 28, 2025, and he underwent reconstructive surgery plus a later clean‑up procedure during his rehab.
  • New York had listed him as questionable despite multiple full practices this week and left the final decision to Nabers, who said he would rely on his own judgment and his faith.
  • The team signed Dalen Cambre to the 53-man roster and elevated Braxton Berrios as insurance in case Nabers did not play or was placed on a snap count.
  • While activation gives quarterback Jaxson Dart his top target for the opener, the Giants have not specified Nabers’ snap limits so offensive planning will hinge on in‑game workload management.
