New York Giants WR Malik Nabers did not practice on Friday, July 31. The team had planned it as a day off as they work him back from his season-ending knee injury he suffered last season.
Huddle Up: Nabers is still expected to be the team's WR1 in Week 1 and beyond if he is healthy. Having a scheduled day off isn't out of the ordinary, so fantasy players need not worry until a report changes that.

New York Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) said he does not have a timetable for his return and that he will play when he is ready. He has been participating in individual drills during training camp.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players will need to monitor the situation during training camp to see if Nabers will be ready for Week 1. He is a weekly starting option in all leagues when healthy, but fantasy players may not have him available early in the season.

New York Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) will not start training camp on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list.
Huddle Up: Nabers will likely be eased into practice but seems to have a chance to be ready for the start of the regular season. Fantasy players should keep an eye on the situation because Nabers is a weekly starting option in fantasy leagues when healthy.

New York Giants WR Malik Nabers has "a realistic possibility" to play in Week 1, according to ESPN's Jordan Raanan.
Huddle Up: Nabers is bouncing back from a torn ACL, and his rehab journey has been long, but this seems to be the first big ray of hope. A healthy Nabers in the lineup has the potential to be a WR1, but fantasy players should temper expectations and embrace a floor as a WR2.

New York Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) will be working his way into practice as soon as training camp opens, according to head coach John Harbaugh.
Huddle Up: Nabers is behind RB Cam Skattebo, according to Harbaugh, but he's in a good place. Nabers will be a WR3 with upside if he's able to avoid the PUP to start the season.

New York Giants WR Malachi Fields could see a big role in the offense sooner rather than later. The receivers' room is a bit thin, and there is no certainty WR Malik Nabers (knee) will be able to return to start the regular season.
Huddle Up: With Nabers not a lock for the regular season start, and Darius Slayton, Gunner Olszewski and Beaux Collins nicked up initially, the rookie Fields might be doing a lot of on-the-job training, rather than studying, watching and developing. He is expected to get an opportunity to be a go-to option in the red zone, too, as the Giants need help in that area after finishing 27th in red-zone scoring percentage in 2025. Fields is an intriguing late-round option in redraft fantasy leagues, and a must-have in long-term keeper formats.

New York Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) participated in LB Brian Burns' celebrity softball game on Saturday night, and he took part in all scheduled activities, from dodgeball to the home run derby to the game itself. He was seen backpedaling in the dodgeball game, and he was showing off a full range of motion. However, he still didn't show if he can start, stop or cut as his position requires, so it was just a glimpse of where he is at. Head coach John Harbaugh recently said the receiver is still working through rehab, and he is uncertain if Nabers will be ready for the start of training camp.
Huddle Up: Nabers is hopeful to be ready for the start of the regular season, but playing dodgeball and softball, or going through the rigors of an NFL game, while running his route tree are two completely different things. Still, it's a good sign that he is moving around well. Fantasy managers still have two or three months to see him get better. We'll know a lot more in July and August about where he should be safely drafted for fantasy purposes.

ESPN's Adam Schefter said on Friday, May 22, that New York Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) "don't know if he'll be ready for opening day."
Huddle Up: If Nabers is not healthy enough for Week 1, it casts a serious cloud over his potential for 2026. We will not panic over anything beyond this upcoming season, but his status during training camp will have to be monitored closely.

New York Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) has a goal to be ready for the start of the season, according to head coach John Harbaugh.
Huddle Up: Nabers is coming back from a torn ACL and has had a second procedure on his knee to clean up the same knee. His status now seems to be up in the air as it relates to the start of the season. Training camp will be big for him to gauge what his value is, but even if he misses a few weeks to start the season, he projects to be a WR2 based on the target share he commands in the offense.

New York Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) had a second surgery on his knee a few weeks ago to remove scar tissue that was causing stiffness in the knee, according to sources. The team still hopes he will be ready for Week 1.
Huddle Up: Nabers is unlikely to do much during offseason workouts, so fantasy players will need to see how he is doing during training camp. He is a weekly starting option in all fantasy leagues when healthy, but players may need a short-term replacement if he misses the first few games.
