Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers took a massive leap in his recovery on Monday, hitting the practice field without that dreaded red non-contact jersey for the first time this summer. That is huge news, especially with Week 1 against the Cowboys looming large.
Nabers Is Moving Like We Haven’t Seen Him Before
It’s been a long road for Nabers since tearing his ACL last year, but head coach John Harbaugh is clearly hyped about what he is seeing. After Monday’s session, Harbaugh said it was a great practice for the young wideout. He even dropped a bomb, saying Nabers was “probably moving the best we’ve seen him look” since getting back on the field. That is the kind of update that makes you sit up straight!
The Week 1 Nod We Were All Waiting For
Harbaugh did not come right out and guarantee Nabers for the season opener against the Cowboys, because, you know, coaches are careful. But he made it crystal clear that we can all “reasonably assume” he will be out there. He mentioned the docs and trainers are saying Nabers’ rehab is “doing well, he’s doing really well with that. He’s strong, he’s in a good place.” This is exactly what Giants fans needed to hear! Getting Nabers back in the lineup would be a “big plus” for Harbaugh as he starts his time on the Giants’ sideline, and the team will need him for that Week 1 showdown.
