Giants receiver Malik Nabers and running back Cam Skattebo both are expected to be ready for Week 1. But Skattebo is closer to a return than Nabers, coach John Harbaugh said Tuesday. Harbaugh said Skattebo could return this spring, while Nabers won't be back until sometime in training camp and "closer to the season.

" Nabers underwent surgery to repair the torn ACL in his right knee on Oct. 28. โ€œHeโ€™s in the classroom; heโ€™s lifting weights; heโ€™s in the rehab stuff, got up and spoke, like everybody did,โ€ Harbaugh said, via SNY.

โ€œIt was great, man. Heโ€™s in great spirits . It was fun to be around him.

โ€ Nabers made 109 catches for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns as a rookie and had 18 receptions for 271 yards and two touchdowns in 2025 before his season-ending injury in Week 4. Skattebo is recovering from an Oct. 26 surgery to repair a dislocated ankle, fractured fibula and ruptured ligament in is right leg.

He totaled 125 touches for 617 yards and seven touchdowns as a rookie.
