New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers is in the process of recovering from a toe injury that affected his performance during the previous season. As reported by Moneyline's Jordan Raanan, Giants head coach Brian Daboll stated that Nabers would have a limited role during organized team activities (OTAs) as he focuses on his rehabilitation. The organization is prioritizing Nabers' health to ensure he is fit for the upcoming training camp.

Having excelled at LSU in college, Nabers was selected sixth overall by the Giants in the 2024 NFL Draft, making a significant impact as a rookie. He started 13 of the 15 games in which he played, amassing 109 receptions for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns. His performance earned him a fifth-place finish in the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year voting and a Pro Bowl selection. Despite missing two games due to a concussion and facing various injuries throughout the season, which limited his practice time, Nabers managed to deliver impressive statistics amidst challenging circumstances, particularly with one of the league's most difficult quarterback situations.

During the last season, Daniel Jones began as the starter for the first 10 games but struggled, leading to his benching and eventual release. Drew Lock took over for five games, while Tommy DeVito started two, and collectively, the Giants' quarterback production ranked among the lowest in the NFL. The team threw for only 3,228 yards, 15 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions, with Nabers contributing to nearly half of the team's total receiving yardage and touchdowns. Following a complete overhaul of their quarterback room this offseason, the Giants signed veterans Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston, and traded back into the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft to select Ole Miss' Jaxson Dart as the 25th overall pick. Regardless of who claims the starting position in training camp, it is anticipated that the new quarterbacks will provide improved performance compared to what Nabers and his fellow receivers experienced in the prior season. Although the Giants have faced a downturn in performance since their surprise playoff appearance in 2022, where they finished with a 9-7-1 record, they encountered a significant decline, recording a 6-11 mark in 2023 and a dismal 3-14 in the past season. While outside expectations may not suggest playoff contention for the Giants in 2025, the presence of a talented wide receiver like Nabers offers hope. His health and performance will be crucial as the Giants aim to enhance their offensive capabilities, particularly if they can secure a quarterback who effectively distributes the ball to him and his teammates.
