New York Giants WR Malik Nabers Clears PUP List Ahead of Training Camp

Wide receiver Malik Nabers, the New York Giants’ 2024 rookie Pro Bowl pick, was not placed on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list as the team begins training camp. Nabers is recovering from a torn anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus suffered in Week 4 of the 2025 season, after which he underwent surgery and a follow‑up clean‑up procedure. While teammates tight end Thomas Fidone II, defensive linemen Sam Roberts and Roy Robertson‑Harris will start camp on the PUP list, Nabers’ exclusion allows him to attend practices and potentially be active for the season opener. He recorded 109 receptions for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns as a rookie, and 18 catches for 271 yards and two touchdowns before his injury last year. Head coach John Harbaugh said Nabers is making good progress, and the Giants have bolstered their receiver group with veterans such as Darnell Mooney, JuJu Smith‑Schuster and Calvin Austin. Nabers’ $29 million rookie deal makes his health a key factor for the team’s offensive prospects in 2026.
