The New York Giants are looking forward to having Malik Nabers back on the field for the 2026 NFL season as one of the most dynamic young receivers in football.
Turns out, it took one more surgery than thought to help Nabers fully recover from injury and return.
It was known that Nabers had ACL and meniscus surgery on Oct. 28 after his season-ending injury.
On Wednesday, though, The Athletic's Dan Duggan reported that Nabers had actually undergone a second surgery during the offseason.
He had "scar tissue that was causing stiffness" in his knee, Duggan wrote.
The beat writer added that the surgery happened "multiple weeks ago" and was just a "clean up" procedure.
Duggan's report concludes by noting that the Giants still hope to have Nabers ready for Week 1.
