New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers has been missing at training camp with an unknown injury.<\/p>\n
For all of the excitement around the New York Giants<\/a> heading into the 2025 season, the campaign fell very short of expectations. But, you can credit some of the dysfunction this season to injuries, the two biggest ones being wide receiver Malik Nabers<\/a> torn ACL and meniscus, and running back Cam Skattebo\u2019s<\/a> gruesome, multi-layered leg injury.<\/p>\n The early play of Russell Wilson and the eventual injuries sustained by Jaxson Dart certainly didn\u2019t help either.<\/p>\n But the Giants<\/a> did get some good news this morning, as Nabers told Giants\u2019 reporter Jordan Raanan that his rehab has been \u201cphenomenal.\u201d<\/p>\n In addition to the ACL surgery that Nabers underwent, he also confirmed that he had a procedure done to repair his injured meniscus. The silver lining to all of this is that the injury occurred at the end of September with the surgeries coming in the following days, so Nabers has already had four months of recovery and rehab, which certainly helps his timeline to return to play next season.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Nabers Confirms Injuries, Rehab is Going Well<\/p>\n The fact that Nabers went out of his way to confirm that his rehab was going phenomenal is a great sign for Giants fans. He certainly could have stayed out of the spotlight and healed on his own, but his confidence in the recovery process can really only mean positive things.<\/p>\n Raanan shared a post on what Nabers relayed to him via his X account.<\/p>\n Malik Nabers told me his rehab has been \u201cphenomenal.\u201d He did in fact have a full meniscus repair in addition to ACL surgery in October. That explains the crutch + brace he was wearing last month. Typically full meniscus repair does add to recovery timeline.<\/p>\n \u201cMalik Nabers told me his rehab has been \u201cphenomenal,\u201d Raanan wrote. \u201cHe did in fact have a full meniscus repair in addition to ACL surgery in October. That explains the crutch + brace he was wearing last month. Typically full meniscus repair does add to recovery timeline.\u201d<\/p>\n That pesky meniscus injury is what may be slowing things down for Nabers\u2019 recovery. With an ACL injury by itself, you\u2019re typically looking at roughly a year long recovery for football players, with the potential for 10 or 11 months if rehabbing does go \u201cphenomenally,\u201d as Nabers said.<\/p>\n But, with the meniscus needing time to heal as well, it could be limiting what he\u2019s able to do as far as physical therapy and range of motion exercises go.<\/p>\n There\u2019s no official timetable for Nabers return, but he said he won\u2019t push it until his body feels fully ready to get back into football action.<\/p>\n \u201cThe target date is when my body feels ready and I can continue to be who I am, and my body feels able to do the things that I was doing before the injury,\u201d\u00a0Nabers said in January<\/a>.\u201dIf my body doesn\u2019t feel right, I won\u2019t be out there.\u201d<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Giants WR Room Heading Into 2026<\/p>\n Depending on where Nabers timeline is come NFL<\/a> Draft time in April, New York may choose to select a wide receiver with its No. 5 overall pick. Ohio State standout Carnell Tate should be available once the Giants are on the clock.<\/p>\n With or without a drafted wide receiver, New York\u2019s wide receiver room is very shallow, especially without Nabers.<\/p>\n Wan\u2019Dale Robinson stepped up big time in Nabers absence, catching 92 passes for 1,014 yards this season. Behind him on the depth chart though, things get thin quick, with Darius Slayton, Isaiah Hodgins, and Gunner Olszewski filling out the rest of the room.<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tMatt Skillings<\/a> Matt Skillings is a Boston based sports journalist and a graduate of UMass Amherst, where he majored in journalism and communication.
