New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers took a significant step in his recovery from a torn ACL sustained last season, shedding his red zone contact jersey during Monday's training camp practice. While Nabers was still not participating in full contact drills, his presence on the field mixed with defenders marked a promising development.
During his reps in 11-on-11 and 7-on-7 drills, Nabers demonstrated glimpses of his former agility and route-running capabilities. He made several catches, though one pass also fell through his hands. These moments suggest he could be on track for the team's Week 1 matchup.
Mondays practice in East Rutherford, New Jersey, saw Nabers participating in drills that allowed him to engage more directly with the defense, a notable shift from previous sessions where his activity was more limited due to his injury status.
