Schefter: Malik Nabers (knee) 'on track to play'
nbcsports.com • • sports
Key Points:
- Nabers is adamant that the decision to play is his own, focusing on his long-term health and career, and continues to practice fully; ESPN reports he is "on track to play" and likely a WR2 if active.
- Giants coach John Harbaugh believes Nabers is ready and expects him to play in Week 1 against the Cowboys, viewing him as at worst a high-end WR2 returning from his torn ACL.
- Nabers has shed his non-contact jersey and participated in limited 11-on-11 and 7-on-7 drills, making impressive catches, with Harbaugh suggesting it is reasonable to expect him to play barring setbacks.
- Despite some uncertainty, Nabers' progress through training camp, including route running and catching passes against the defense, points toward his availability for the season opener.
- Nabers is viewed as a risky but potentially high-reward fantasy selection early in the season, with upside for top-five WR production once fully healthy.
