Malik Nabers has full practice, appears "ready to go" for season opener

Published September 9, 2026 04:54 PM Wide receiver Malik Nabers has not played in almost a year, since tearing his right ACL in a Sept. 28 game against the Chargers. The Giants have been coy about his status for the season opener against the Cowboys, but Nabers was a full participant in Wednesday’s padded practice.“I think he’s ready to go, man,” coach John Harbaugh said after practice, via video from SNY Giants. “We’ll see. It’s still four days until we play. If he’s ready to go, and he feels like he’s ready to go, then he’ll play. If he’s not ready, then he won’t play.”Nabers said Monday he didn’t want to come back on a snap count, and it appears he won’t be. He caught nine passes for 167 yards and two touchdowns in a Week 2 loss to the Cowboys last season.Every player on the Giants’ 53-man roster practiced.Tight end Theo Johnson (shoulder), offensive lineman Bryan Hudson (knee), defensive lineman Shelby Harris (Achilles) and offensive tackle Andrew Thomas (knee) were also full participants.
