Apparently the Toe Isn't Malik Nabers' Real Issue?

What They're Saying

Raanan: "One source characterized it as 'normal camp tightness.' ... At this point it would seem logical for Nabers to miss the entire preseason. The regular season opens in three weeks. That should be enough time for Nabers to get ready."

It's tough to know what to do with this.

This is absolutely the time of year to baby any minor injury, especially for an established player who will be vital to the team's success in season.

But your back is kinda important, and pretty heavily involved in anything Nabers does on a football field. How will his back hold up to all the change of direction, twisting, diving, and hits that come with playing WR?

We'll all have to wait and see once he's actually on the field. And we probably won't see Nabers in competitive situations until the regular season.

If the issue here is truly minor and he's all the way back by September, then Nabers sports as much upside as anyone at the position. But his late-Round 1 ADP adds risk.

We'll keep tracking Nabers' return, but don't expect a significant change to his projection unless we get some worse news.
