Overview

  • Giants coach Brian Daboll confirmed Nabers will resume full participation in practice following a minor shoulder scare earlier in the week.
  • After setting a franchise rookie record with 109 catches in 2024, Nabers is poised to be Russell Wilson’s primary deep-ball target in camp drills.
  • Depth behind top receivers Darius Slayton and Wan’Dale Robinson remains unproven after Bryce Ford-Wheaton suffered a season-ending Achilles tendon tear.
  • The team added veterans Brandon Powell and Gunner Olszewski to fill Ford-Wheaton’s spot and holds the No. 3 waiver priority for further upgrades.
  • Undrafted rookie Beaux Collins has stood out with his size, speed and special-teams potential as the leading candidate for a roster spot.
