Nabers, who has been sidelined since Week 4 of the previous season, has shown steady progress throughout the summer. After undergoing surgery for a torn ACL last October and a follow-up procedure earlier this year to address lingering stiffness and scar tissue in his right knee, the third-year receiver has gradually increased his workload. Having successfully transitioned into live drills and shed his non-contact jersey, his full participation in Wednesday’s team reps marks a notable step forward.
Harbaugh maintains cautious approach to injury status
Despite the positive signs on the practice field, head coach
Addressing the media, Harbaugh adopted a firm stance on maintaining competitive secrecy regarding his roster and game plan. He indicated that he would not disclose specific lineup decisions, starting assignments, or tactical packages to ensure the Cowboys do not gain an advantage. Harbaugh stressed that Nabers is being integrated into the standard practice routine alongside his teammates, with no special modifications made to his training regimen.
Roster depth and injury report updates
The status of the wide receiver corps has become a point of interest following the recent release of veteran Darius Slayton. With only four wide receivers currently on the active roster, the team is expected to elevate Braxton Berrios from the practice squad to provide additional depth and support on special teams. This roster configuration underscores the importance of getting Nabers back to full health.
The Giants' first injury report of the season reflected a relatively healthy squad, with every player on the active roster participating in Wednesday's session. In addition to Nabers, the report included left tackle Andrew Thomas (knee), defensive tackle Shelby Harris (Achilles), and tight end Theo Johnson (shoulder). Like Nabers, all three players were listed as full participants, providing a boost to the team as they finalize their preparations for the Dallas Cowboys.
