Star receiver could miss Rams game in Week 2
Rams may face Giants in Week 2 without Malik Nabers
The Los Angeles Rams are no stranger to injuries in the offseason that can leave the upcoming season hanging in the balance. In the 2023 offseason, Cooper Kupp missed time because of a hamstring injury and opened the season on injured reserve. In the 2024 offseason, Puka Nacua nursed a knee injury that he suffered in a joint practice against the Los Angeles Chargers.
The same injury caused Nacua to miss Weeks 2-7 of the season. In the 2025 offseason, Matthew Stafford hardly practiced in training camp because of a back injury. In this case, the New York Giants are dealing with a major injury situation with star wide receiver Malik Nabers.
Nabers originally injured his knee in Week 4 of the 2025 season against the Los Angeles Chargers, ending what had already become another breakout year for the former LSU standout. The injury required surgery after a month-long “pre-hab” process designed to strengthen the knee before the operation. "I just don't like the way that any of this sounds.
… [The Giants] don't know if he'll be ready for opening day. " — @AdamSchefter on Giants WR Malik Nabers' knee injury 🏈 (via @PatMcAfeeShow ) pic. twitter.
