New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers, who was lost for the season after suffering a serious knee injury in a Week 4 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers, will undergo surgery to repair both a torn ACL and a torn meniscus.
In addition to those injuries, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that Nabers is also dealing with a partially torn labrum and turf toe.
Nabers is expected to undergo surgery this week for a torn ACL and a torn meniscus while also allowing a partially torn labrum and turf toe to heal, per sources. Doctors weighed whether Nabers also would need surgery on his labrum but ultimately decided against it.
The ACL tear was reportedly “clean” with no additional ligament damage. Expectations are that Nabers will be healthy for training camp in 2026, fully recovered from the knee injury, shoulder injury, and turf toe.
Nabers is expected back for the start of training (camp) and, per a source, for the first time since maybe high school, he will be as close to 100% healthy as possible.
His shoulder has been an issue for a little while, his turf toe has bothered him since college, and he has missed repeated practice time due to injuries. But now he will be given time to heal.
Nabers suggested earlier this year that surgery was likely to be required for his toe injury, but based on Schefter’s report, there is hope that it will be avoided for now and that the superstar wideout will be near 100 percent in Week 1 of next season.
