Giants coach John Harbaugh says wide receiver Malik Nabers is expected to be available for the team’s Week 1 game after practicing fully on Wednesday. Both outlets report that Harbaugh indicated Nabers is ready to play.
The reports place Nabers’ absence in context: he has not played in an NFL game since Week 4 of last season, when he sustained major injuries. The Athletic notes the injury involved his ACL and meniscus, while Yahoo Sports focuses on the fact that he has been away from game action since that point. Both accounts center on his return timeline and his participation in practice, with Harbaugh’s comments serving as the primary confirmation of his current status.
Overall, the outlets align on the key details: Nabers has been inactive since Week 4 last year due to injury, he practices fully as of Wednesday, and Harbaugh expresses confidence that he can play in the opener.
