New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers is currently recovering from a toe injury that affected his performance last season. According to reports from Moneyline, Giants head coach Brian Daboll stated that Nabers would have a limited role during OTAs as he continues his rehabilitation process. The organization aims to ensure that Nabers receives the necessary rest to be fully prepared for training camp.

Nabers, who had an impressive collegiate career at LSU, was selected sixth overall by the Giants in the 2024 NFL Draft. He made an immediate impact as a rookie, starting in 13 of the 15 games he participated in. During that season, he recorded 109 receptions for 1,204 yards and scored seven touchdowns. His performance earned him a fifth-place finish in the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year voting and a selection to the Pro Bowl. However, the 2024 season was not without challenges, as Nabers missed two games due to a concussion and faced further setbacks that limited his practice time.

The Giants' quarterback situation was notably unstable throughout the previous season. Daniel Jones, who started the first ten games, struggled and was later benched, leading to his release. Drew Lock and Tommy DeVito attempted to fill the void but were unable to significantly improve the team's performance. Collectively, the Giants' quarterbacks managed to throw for just 3,228 yards, 15 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions, with Nabers accounting for nearly half of the team's total receiving yardage and touchdowns. In response to last year's difficulties, the Giants have revamped their quarterback lineup by signing both Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston during free agency, in addition to trading back into the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft to select Jaxson Dart from Ole Miss with the 25th overall pick. The upgrades at quarterback are anticipated to benefit not only Nabers but the entire Giants offense, which has the potential for improvement in the coming season. With a healthy Nabers poised for a rebound season, the Giants' success largely hinges on their ability to integrate a more competent quarterback to facilitate offensive progress.
