Giants WR Malik Nabers admitted Monday that he's iffy to be ready for the 2026 opener. "Not really sure," Nabers said. "If my body doesn’t feel right, then I’m not gonna go out there.” Nabers underwent surgery on October 28 for what was reported as a torn ACL and meniscus damage. He'll be about 10.5 months removed from surgery when the 2026 season kicks off. But Nabers was spotted prior to Sunday's finale vs. the Cowboys using a crutch and with a bulky brace on his right knee. We'll keep tabs on his progress throughout the offseason. But early fantasy drafters should consider him no better than 50/50 to be ready for Week 1.
