Top receiver Malik Nabers takes a 'big step' forward at Giants training camp

AI Summary

Malik Nabers, the New York Giants' top receiver, is progressing in his recovery from a torn ACL by participating in no-contact drills at training camp. Coach John Harbaugh highlighted this as a significant step forward. Nabers' ability to catch passes yet remain protected marks progress in his rehabilitation.

Malik Nabers wore a red no-contact jersey like the quarterbacks and caught a handful of passes from them, much to the delight of the players around him. The New York Giants' No. 1 receiver isn't full go yet, but doing that much in team drills at practice on Thursday represented the latest sign of progress in his long road back from a torn ACL in his right knee. “Everybody was happy that he was out there because it’s a big step,” coach John Harbaugh said after what he called a no-physicality session without pads.
