Giants general manager Joe Schoen said that the team expects Nabers (ACL) to be ready for the start of training camp late July but that "things can change," Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nabers suffered a torn ACL and meniscus in his right knee Sept. 28 and underwent surgery late October. He said after New York's win over the Cowboys in Week 18, while still sporting a knee brace and using a cane, that he is targeting a return "when my body feels good" and won't play before he's fully healthy, per Dan Benton of USA Today. Nabers also refused to commit to being available Week 1 at that time. Further clarity of Nabers' estimated recovery timetable may not be available until summer, but if if the 2024 first-round pick is able to participate in the beginning of training camp it will bode well of his odds of being available to kick off the 2026 regular season. On the other hand, Benton reports that the severity of Nabers' injury could cause him to begin 2026 on the PUP list. When back to full health, Nabers will reclaim his role as the clear No. 1 target for quarterback Jaxson Dart.

Nabers underwent successful surgery Tuesday to repair a torn ACL and meniscus in his right knee, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The star wideout sustained the major knee injury in a Sept. 28 win over the Chargers, but he had been completing a "prehab" program over the past month before finally going under the knife Tuesday. He's scheduled to be discharged from the hospital Wednesday and will be able to immediately begin what's expected to be an extended rehab process. Given that he suffered his knee injury early in the season, the 22-year-old is expected to be back to full health in advance of the 2026 campaign.

Nabers is scheduled to undergo surgery later this upcoming week to repair the torn ACL and meniscus in his right knee, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though Nabers sustained the non-contact injury during a Sept. 28 win over the Chargers in Week 4, he needed one month to let the swelling in his knee subside and complete a rehab program before heading in for surgery. Assuming Nabers' upcoming procedure goes as planned, he's expected to be back to full strength for the start of the 2026 season. Before suffering the knee injury, the 22-year-old wideout played only a handful of snaps with rookie first-round quarterback Jaxson Dart, who made his first NFL start Week 4 in place of the struggling Russell Wilson after the latter directed the offense for the first three games of the season.

Nabers will undergo surgery next week to repair a torn ACL and torn meniscus in his right knee, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nabers tore both his ACL and meniscus during the second quarter of the Giants' Week 4 win over the Chargers. Schefter adds that the time off will allow Nabers to also recover from a partially torn labrum and turf toe, and the 2024 first-rounder is expected to return for the start of training camp in July of 2026. Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton, Jalin Hyatt and tight end Theo Johnson are expected to be the primary targets of rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart in Nabers' absence.

Nabers (knee) has been placed on IR by the Giants, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Salomone also relayed earlier Monday that coach Brian Daboll confirmed Nabers will miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL. With Nabers officially on IR, Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton and Jalin Hyatt are poised to lead the teams' WR corps going forward, with Beaux Collins and Gunner Olszewski also available to mix in. In any case, losing the talented 2024 first-rounder for the rest of the campaign is a huge loss for a New York offense now helmed by rookie QB Jaxson Dart. Given the timing of his injury, Nabers -- who is expected to undergo surgery in the coming weeks, per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com -- has a chance to be ready for the start of the 2026 regular season, though the Giants have yet to outline a estimated timetable for his recovery.

Nabers (knee) suffered a season-ending torn right ACL tear in Sunday's win over the Chargers, Dianna Russini of The Athletic and Adam Schefter of ESPN report.
EDGE Analysis
Nabers went down while attempting to make a leaping grab on a deep pass attempt from rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart, and the nature of the injury was confirmed Monday via an MRI. His loss is a brutal blow to both Dart's development and New York's passing game as a whole, which now will turn to Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton and Jalin Hyatt as regulars in three-wide sets, as well as offer further opportunities for tight end Theo Johnson and running back Tyrone Tracy (shoulder) once he's healthy. Nabers is expected to land on IR in short order.

Nabers is slated for an MRI on his right knee Monday to determine if he indeed suffered a torn ACL during Sunday's game versus the Chargers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
In the process of attempting to haul in a deep pass from rookie QB Jaxson Dart in the second quarter, Nabers grabbed at his right knee and remained on the turf for a spell before being carted off the field. The Giants ruled out Nabers after halftime, and Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reported not long afterward that the wide receiver was believed to have suffered an ACL tear. If the diagnosis is confirmed, Nabers will finish his second pro campaign with an 18-271-2 line on 35 targets in three contests.

Nabers is believed to have suffered a torn ACL Sunday against the Chargers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nabers has been ruled out for the remainder of the contest, with testing on his knee no doubt slated to occur. If the injury is as serious as feared, it would be a massive blow to the Giants' offense.

Coach Brian Daboll said Nabers (knee) won't return to Sunday's contest against the Chargers, James Palmer of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
While attempting to make a leaping catch down the sideline in the second quarter, Nabers clutched at his knee and stayed on the turf before being carted to the locker room. The nature of the injury hasn't been revealed, but he'll finish Week 4 with two catches (on three targets) for 20 yards.

Nabers was carted to the locker room due to an apparent right knee injury during Sunday's game against the Chargers, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nabers stayed down on the ground while grabbing at his knee after he attempted to make a leaping grab down the sideline. Considering he needed a cart to leave the field, there's a decent chance his Week 4 is over.
