Malik Nabers Says He’s Ready for the Season with the Giants
New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers has downplayed concerns about the back injury that kept him out of the last two preseason games and 12 days of practice. “A minor issue,” Nabers said about his injury. Nabers, a key piece in the Giants’ attack, returned to practice last Monday, but was excluded from the last preseason game against the New England Patriots. The decision not to play was out of caution, according to team sources. During the offseason, Nabers has had to deal with some physical discomfort, including a toe injury and a shoulder knock. However, he has been in full form for the start of the regular season. The receiver is confident he will be ready for the first game of the season, where the Giants will face the Washington Commanders.The Giants are placing high hopes on Nabers, who is shaping up to be their number one receiver. Last season, he led the NFL with an average of 11.3 targets per game, accumulating 109 receptions for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns, despite missing a couple of games due to a concussion. The connection between Nabers and the new quarterback, Russell Wilson, could be crucial to the team’s success. Both have worked together during the offseason, and the chemistry between them seems promising.“Yes, I feel like I’m always ready. When it’s game time and the lights are on, I think my body will turn on. It’ll be ready,” Nabers affirmed.

Wilson has also praised Nabers, highlighting his ability to be a threat anytime he touches the ball. Nabers is focused on the first game of the season and on achieving victories for the team.“We’ve been on the same page many times. That connection will keep growing. It can never be as great as we want, but it will be as good as we hope it will be. But we keep working, trying to get those receptions. The relationship has gone well,” Nabers commented.
