Giants Coach Harbaugh Says Nabers Making Progress After Knee Injury

New York Giants coach John Harbaugh said after the final minicamp practice on Wednesday that he is hopeful wide receiver Malik Nabers will be back soon from a knee injury. Harbaugh said Nabers plans to be at the facility most of the time, almost all the time, during the current period. He added that Nabers will still be building his way back to his ultimate full-strength self upon return.

"He's making really good progress right now. Malik Nabers tore his ACL in Week 4 of last season and required a full meniscus repair. He underwent an additional cleanup procedure earlier this year to remove scar tissue causing stiffness.

Nabers did not participate in the Giants' mandatory minicamp held the week of June 10, 2026. The team is now off until reporting to training camp the final week of July in West Virginia. Giants general manager Joe Schoen told Yahoo Sports this week that he still thinks Nabers will be fine for Week 1.

The Giants originally projected Nabers would be ready for the start of training camp, then revised the timeline to sometime this summer, and are now hopeful for Week 1. Harbaugh said Nabers has made real good progress in the last few weeks.
