Giants' Nabers should be ready for training camp after sitting out spring practices with toe issue
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers should be available to practice for the start of training camp next month after sitting out during the spring with a toe issue.
Coach Brian Daboll said Wednesday that Nabers was 'doing good' and he had no concerns that the injury would affect his availability.
'Every person's at a different part in, call it rehab if you will or prehab,' Daboll said, 'and we just did what we thought was best for Malik to try to get him as healthy as we can.'
Daboll said last month during organized team activities that the Giants were simply being cautious with Nabers, who has had an issue with the toe since his college days at LSU. Daboll also said then that Nabers didn't need any procedures on his toe during the offseason.
Nabers didn't practice in the sessions open to reporters during OTAs and minicamp, but participated in some of the team's walkthrough periods.
'He's had some issues, like I said, in the past, in college with it,' Daboll said. 'And again, that was the plan that we came up with for him and for our football team.'
Nabers, the sixth overall pick in the draft last year, caught an NFL rookie-record 109 passes last season while setting the franchise mark for most receptions in a season. Nabers also tied former Giants star Odell Beckham Jr. for the NFL record for fewest games needed for 100 career catches, reaching the milestone in just 14 games.
Left tackle Andrew Thomas also didn't practice throughout the spring while he works his way back from surgery to repair a Lisfranc injury to his right foot that sidelined him the final 11 games.
Three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence didn't practice in team drills, but participated in individual drills during OTAs and minicamp.
Third-round defensive tackle Darius Alexander and fourth-round running back Cam Skattebo also didn't practice fully in minicamp because of undisclosed injuries.
'They're progressing,' Daboll said. 'They'll do everything they can do to get ready and hopefully they'll be ready to go.'

Now 31, he's gearing up to begin his journey with a fourth NFL franchise, the New York Giants.

Cleveland Browns' Mason Graham, Michigan alum, booed by Ohio State fans at youth camp
Cleveland Browns' Mason Graham, Michigan alum, booed by Ohio State fans at youth camp Ohio State loyalty runs deep in the Buckeye State. So even if you were a productive player in the state of Michigan, particularly with the Wolverines, chances are, even at the pro ranks, they won't accept you. Since the Cleveland Browns traded back in the 2025 NFL draft to the No. 5 pick and selected Michigan defensive tackle Mason Graham, there's been a lot of bellyaching and handwringing throughout the state of Ohio about the pick. Despite Graham being arguably the best defensive tackle each of the past two years, and single-handedly showing his might in the win over the Buckeyes this past year, he'll forever be tainted in the state due to his college ties. It became that much more apparent at a Cleveland Browns youth camp on Wednesday. Graham was present and was announced as a Michigan alum, and the young crowd of campers therefore gave him a not-so-warm welcome. He, of course, embraced it. Graham played for three years in Ann Arbor and is 3-0 against Ohio State -- even with the team that went to Columbus last year with a 7-5 record. He also won the Big Ten twice and the national championship in 2023. Of course, Graham could turn things around with a dominant showing in the NFL, much like former Ohio State linebacker Chris Spielman did during his time with the Detroit Lions. However, it's much more of an uphil battle for Graham in Cleveland, especially considering that he never lost to Ohio State in his career.
