Giants say Malik Nabers fully participated in practice, but not sure if he’ll play against Cowboys
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Malik Nabers was a full participant in New York Giants practice Wednesday, but coach John Harbaugh will not say if the team’s No. 1 receiver will play in the season opener Sunday night at home against Dallas.
Nabers is nearly a year removed from tearing the ACL in his right knee. With the 23-year-old being on the field at the start of training camp and progressing toward a return, he and the team have been consistent in not putting a target date on when Nabers will be ready.
“I think he’s ready to go, man,” Harbaugh said. “We’ll see though. I mean, it’s still four days until we play. So, if he’s ready to go and he feels like he’s ready to go, then he’ll play. If he’s not and he’s not ready, then he won’t play. That’s how it works.”
Harbaugh said it was in the competitive interest of the Giants for the Cowboys not to know if Nabers will be in uniform.
