"I'm not really sure, Nabers said on Monday during the Giants' locker cleanout day. If my body doesn't feel right, then I'm not gonna go out there. Roughly one month after sustaining the injury, he underwent surgery, meaning he is only 10 weeks out from the procedure, and a significant road in his rehab still awaits. He is still walking with a cane."
"I needed to get back to where I once was and find that hunger. I feel like this is a blessing in disguise. I had a talk with,[backup quarterback Jameis Winston], and I kept asking, Why did it happen to me?' And he's like, Why not you? Why not go back to the bottom and try to find your way back to the top?' I'm putting that in my head and attacking the rehab as much as I can."
Malik Nabers suffered an ACL tear in Week 4 against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sept. 28 and underwent surgery roughly one month later. He is about ten weeks removed from the procedure, still walking with a cane, and faces a lengthy rehabilitation timeline that makes Week 1 2026 availability uncertain. Nabers frames the injury as motivating, expressing a desire to regain his previous form and hunger while leaning on teammates' perspectives. Nabers broke out as a rookie in 2024 with 109 catches and 1,204 yards; he had 18 receptions for 271 yards in 2025 before the injury. Both Nabers and rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart remain central to the Giants' future amid a head-coach search.
