Sources: Nabers to have knee surgery this week
"Even before his season ended last Sunday with a significant knee injury, New York Giants standout wide receiver Malik Nabers was banged up. Now is the time for repairs and recovery. 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. Nabers is expected back for the start of training and, per a source, and 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."
Malik Nabers will undergo surgery this week to repair a torn ACL and a torn meniscus while a partially torn labrum and chronic turf toe are allowed to heal without additional surgery. Doctors evaluated the labrum but ultimately decided against operating on it. Nabers is expected to return by the start of training and is projected to be closer to 100% healthy than he has been since high school. Shoulder issues and turf toe previously caused missed practice time. The knee injury occurred while Nabers attempted a deep sideline catch during last Sunday’s 21-18 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Nabers recorded 109 catches for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns as a rookie in 2024 and had 18 catches for 271 yards and two touchdowns this season before the injury; his 127 receptions through 19 career games rank second to Odell Beckham Jr. in NFL history through 20 games.
