Fresh details have been revealed regarding Malik Nabers' road to recovery following his season-ending injury in Week 4.
The second-year New York Giants wide receiver suffered a torn right ACL and meniscus during his team's 21-18 win over the Los Angeles Chargers last month.
Nabers went down in the second quarter of the game at MetLife Stadium, with the incident being a non-contact issue.
The 22-year-old, who had a strong NFL rookie campaign with 1204 receiving yards and seven touchdowns, looked to be continuing his impressive form into the 2025 season.
In a 40-37 overtime loss to division rivals Dallas Cowboys in Week 2, Nabers had nine receptions for 167 yards and recorded two visits to the endzone.

Rapaport revealed to NFL GameDay Morning on Sunday (October 26) that the receiver had to rest his knee for a month before surgery.
This was to ensure the player's rehab process over the coming months can be more comfortable and leave his knee in better shape moving forward for his career.

The Giants expect Nabers to make a complete recovery and be healthy for the start of the 2026 season.
Brian Daboll's team will also have to do without rookie running back Cam Skattebo for the rest of this season, after he sustained a severe ankle injury in Sunday's Week 8 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
