New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen shared positive updates on Tuesday regarding the health of start wide receiver Malik Nabers and running back Cam Skattebo, who both finished the 2025 season on injured reserve.<\/p>\n
Training camp timetable for Nabers?<\/p>\n
Schoen said that Nabers, who suffered a torn ACL in Week 4, could be ready for training camp.<\/p>\n
\u201cMalik is trending to hopefully be ready for training camp,\u201d Schoen said. \u201cThings can change … but that\u2019s the hope.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIf my body doesn\u2019t feel right then I\u2019m not gonna go out there,\u201d Nabers said.<\/p>\n
\u201cTarget date is when my body feels ready to be out there.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nabers was seen using a came when he arrived at MetLife Stadium for the season finale.<\/p>\n
\u201cI had a lot messed up in my knee,\u201d Nabers said. \u201cSuccessfully operated on. It\u2019s gonna take a little bit of time.\u201d<\/p>\n
As a rookie in 2024, Nabers set a franchise record with 109 receptions for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns. He was named to the Pro Bowl.<\/p>\n
New coach John Harbaugh said Tuesday he has only spoken to Nabers by phone.<\/p>\n
\u201cI had a chance to talk to Malik on the phone,\u201d Harbaugh said after his introductory press conference. \u201cIt was great. He was training out in LA, rehabbing out there for a week or whatever it was and working hard. I just love talking to him. His joy and excitement, he had some really good ideas, he\u2019s really a thoughtful guy. Obviously, saw him coming out (of LSU). He wasn\u2019t a guy we had a chance for, so it was like, \u2018Well, look at this guy, he\u2019s really good.\u2019 Just kind of a dream. I figured we might have to cover him someday, and here we are, we get a chance to coach him. So I\u2019m really excited about it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Schoen expects the energetic running back, who suffered a gruesome dislocated ankle in Week 8 against the Philadelphia Eagles, to be on the field this spring.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019ll be fine,\u201d Schoen said. \u201cHe\u2019ll actually be prepared for the offseason program on April 6th. He should be good.\u201d<\/p>\n
Skattebo gained 410 yards on 101 carries (4.1 yards per carry) with five touchdowns, and also caught 24 passes before being injured.<\/p>\n
Schoen did admit he would rather not have seen Skattebo make the appearance he made at Madison Square Garden, where he got physically involved in the event just weeks after surgery.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was sitting on my couch at home, I had no idea what was going on and the agent called me,\u201d Schoen said about the WWE appearance. \u201cI would rather him not do that, but as you guys that have been around Skatt (know), that\u2019s just who he is.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen shared positive updates on Tuesday regarding the health of start wide…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":693928,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2067],"tags":[7,519,1917,56,30536,1207,2321,2469,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-693927","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york-giants","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-giants","10":"tag-new-york","11":"tag-new-york-giants","12":"tag-new-york-giants-injuries","13":"tag-new-york-giants-news","14":"tag-newyork","15":"tag-newyorkgiants","16":"tag-nfl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115933600438164922","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/693927","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=693927"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/693927\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/693928"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=693927"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=693927"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=693927"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
