Giants WR Malik Nabers Reports Ready Despite Minor Injuries Ahead Season

Malik Nabers, the New York Giants' star wide receiver, has dealt with several minor injuries during the offseason, including a toe injury, a shoulder injury, and a recent back issue that sidelined him for part of training camp and all preseason games. Nabers has downplayed the back injury, calling it "a minor thing," and expressed confidence that it will not affect his performance as the 2025 NFL season approaches. Despite limited practice reps with new quarterback Russell Wilson, Nabers and Wilson have begun building a strong connection, which is expected to enhance his already impressive role as a high-volume target in the Giants' offense. Nabers led the NFL last season with an average of 11.3 targets per game, catching 109 passes for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns despite missing games due to a concussion. He has committed to stepping up as a vocal leader on the team, aiming to help the Giants improve their offense. With a clean bill of health and a positive outlook, Nabers is considered a top fantasy football pick for 2025 and crucial to the Giants' hopes in the NFC East.
