Nabers (knee) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at Washington, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
When Nabers kicked off Week 5 prep with a DNP due to a knee injury, he told Connor Hughes of SNY.tv that he did "as much as I could." Nabers was able to practice in a limited capacity Thursday before head coach John Harbaugh said Friday that the wide receiver will "be ready to play Sunday," per Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News. Now that Nabers has received clearance to do so, he'll continue to act as the top pass catcher for QB Jameis Winston.

Giants' Malik Nabers: Expected to play Sunday
Rotowire
Head coach John Harbaugh said Friday that Nabers (knee) will "be ready to play Sunday" at Washington, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
A knee injury didn't allow Nabers to log any official practice reps Wednesday, but he was back in a limited fashion Thursday and also mixed into drills Friday. Harbaugh's comments indicate Nabers is good to go for Week 5 action, even if the wide receiver ends up going down as questionable on the Giants' final practice report of the week Friday.

Giants' Malik Nabers: Practicing Friday
Rotowire
Nabers (knee) was on the field for Friday's practice, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.
With Nabers having progressed from a non-participant Wednesday to a limited participant Thursday, his presence and involvement Friday is another positive sign for his status ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders. The Giants' final injury report will determine whether the wide receiver carries a designation into Week 5, but all signs point to Nabers being available Sunday.

Giants' Malik Nabers: DNP due to knee injury
Rotowire
Nabers didn't practice Wednesday due to a knee injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
After Wednesday's session, Nabers relayed to Connor Hughes of SNY.tv that he did "as much as I could," and now the nature of that discomfort has been revealed. It's a bit concerning that Nabers went down as a DNP with a knee issue to begin Week 5 prep, especially since he's a year removed from tearing his right ACL. He also told Ralph Vacchiano of FoxSports.com that his shoulder is "a little sore," but the team didn't list that as the reason for his absence. In any case, Nabers' status will be watched as the week goes on to get a sense of his odds to suit up Sunday at Washington.

Giants' Malik Nabers: Dealing with soreness
Rotowire
Nabers said he took on "as much as I could" at Wednesday's practice, after which he noted he's dealing with undisclosed soreness, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.
Nabers also relayed that he'll "see how the week goes" as it pertains to his odds to play Sunday at Washington. He's already on his second signal-caller of the campaign (Jameis Winston) and has a cumulative 18-208-1 line on 26 targets through four games, and whether or not he'll be available in Week 5 remains to be seen

Giants' Malik Nabers: Gets on same page with Winston in Week 4 win
Rotowire
Nabers caught six of seven targets for 112 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-24 win over the Cardinals.
It was Nabers' best effort of the season, as he began to build some chemistry with new starting QB Jameis Winston, The duo connected on a 25-yard TD in the second quarter, Nabers' first trip to the end zone in 2026, and his 39-yard grab on the Giants' first possession helped set up a field goal. The third-year wideout will take an 18-208-1 line on 26 targets through four games, and renewed optimism in his big-play upside without Jaxson Dart (knee) under center, into a Week 5 road clash with the Commanders.

Giants' Malik Nabers: Team-high five grabs in Week 3 win
Rotowire
Nabers caught five of six targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 12-7 win over the Titans.
The Giants' passing game struggled with Jameis Winston under center instead of Jaxson Dart (knee), and while Nabers led the team in catches and targets, he didn't make much of an impact -- his longest gain went for just 12 yards. That doesn't bode well for the rest of the third-year wideout's campaign with Dart not expected back until 2027, but Nabers and Winston will have plenty of time to develop more chemistry. Nabers will take a 12-96-0 line on 19 targets into a Week 4 home tilt against the Cardinals.

Giants' Malik Nabers: Has positive shoulder update
Rotowire
Nabers said Thursday that he received "good results" on X-rays on his right shoulder, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.
Nabers missed some time during Monday's 28-6 loss at the Rams, a contest in which the Giants lost QB Jaxson Dart (knee) for the rest of the regular season. With Jameis Winston under center for most of the Week 2 matchup, Nabers finished with just one catch (on four targets) for one yard. Nabers officially went down as a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, and restrictions on his workload may continue the rest of the week, but his comments indicate that he'll be able to play through his current health concern.

Giants' Malik Nabers: Limited at Wednesday's practice
Rotowire
Nabers (shoulder) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.
Nabers exited Monday's 28-6 loss to the Rams in the first quarter due to a right shoulder injury but was able to return to the contest, finishing with one catch (on four targets) for one yard. Granted, Jameis Winston took over for an injured Jaxson Dart after the first series of the contest, and now Nabers will be working with Winston for the foreseeable future with Dart slated for surgery on his injured left knee. Nabers will have two more opportunities to get back to full participation this week before the Giants potentially tag him with a designation for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Giants' Malik Nabers: Spotted at practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Nabers (shoulder) was seen participating in Wednesday's practice, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
Nabers battled through a shoulder injury in Monday's loss to the Rams, and his presence at Wednesday's practice is a good sign for his trajectory heading into Week 3 against the Titans.

Giants' Malik Nabers: Back in action Sunday
Rotowire
Nabers (knee) is listed as active Sunday against the Cowboys, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.
During pregame warmups Sunday, Nabers took part in an extensive workout with a member of the Giants' training staff before joining his fellow wide receivers to catch passes from QB Jaxson Dart and company. Shortly thereafter, the Giants didn't include Nabers among their Week 1 inactives, meaning he's back in action for the first time since tearing the ACL and meniscus in his right knee Week 4 of last season. It's unclear what kind of workload he'll be able to handle, but New York's No. 1 WR will be available to Dart and the offense.

Giants' Malik Nabers: Still uncertain for Sunday
Rotowire
Nabers (knee) said Thursday that he feels good but declined to commit publicly to playing Sunday against the Cowboys, Art Stapleton of USA Today reports.
Nabers logged full practices Wednesday and Thursday, but his comments suggest the Giants still haven't made a final call on his Week 1 availability as Nabers works his way back from a torn ACL sustained in Week 4 of last season. Evan Barnes of Newsday Sports adds that Nabers is still deciding whether or not to play as he weighs the long-term implications of his recovery. The recent practice workload is an encouraging sign, but Nabers' fantasy managers would be in a tough spot if he doesn't avoid an injury designation Friday, since replacement options will be limited with the Giants playing on Sunday Night Football this weekend.

Coach John Harbaugh provided the update after Thursday's session.

Giants' Malik Nabers: Going through drills Wednesday
Rotowire
Nabers (knee) participated in drills at Wednesday's practice, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.
Nabers was first in line to go through wideout drills, according to Hughes, and it appears he's ready to go for Sunday night's Week 1 opener against Dallas. It's unclear if Nabers will play his full snap allotment against the Cowboys, so Nabers is looking more like a fantasy WR2 with obvious upside in what would be his first game back from a torn ACL.

Giants' Malik Nabers: Handles individual, team drills Wednesday
Rotowire
Coach John Harbaugh said Nabers (knee) participated in individual and team drills at Wednesday's practice, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.
Nabers has had a notable week, from telling Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com on Monday that he was unsure about his status for the season opener to not being seen at the open portion of Tuesday's practice. He ended up mixing into drills Tuesday after the session was closed to the media, and Harbaugh's comments Wednesday indicate Nabers was somewhere between a limited and full participant. The Giants are required to post their first Week 1 injury report next Wednesday, and how Nabers is listed there may be telling ahead of the Giants' Week 1 matchup with the Cowboys on Sunday, Sept. 13.

Giants' Malik Nabers: Not in uniform Friday
Rotowire
Nabers (knee) isn't suited up for Friday's preseason game versus the Jets, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
Nabers has been an active participant during most of training camp and finally ditched the non-contact red jersey at Monday's practice, but he won't make an appearance during exhibition season as he continues to put last season's torn right ACL further in the rearview mirror. He'll continue to ramp up in advance of a Week 1 matchup with the Cowboys on Sunday, Sept. 13.
