THE New York Giants The wide receiver selected Malik Nabres with the sixth choice in total to the recovery of the NFL 2024. Until the explosion of Washington Commanders The quarter-Arrière Jayden Daniels, Nabers was very considered online for the price of the recruit of the offensive year.

Unfortunately, Nabers was not at all on the ground, treating a throbbing toe injury. This is something that dates back to his college days in LSU, and an former NFL doctor says that he is a huge red flag that he has not yet been on the ground.
“I would be (worry),” said Dr. David J. Chao, an orthopedic surgeon who spent 17 years as a doctor from the NFL. “I would do it because if you are not on the field in June, you have not played football in more than five months. You only have two months before real football is played. If you are not ready in five months, what will do two more months, right?

Now, it may be a red flag, and maybe it’s chronic, but let’s just look at Nabers’ statistics from his rooted campaign. He recorded 109 receptions for 1,204 yards and seven affected. He was by far the wide receiver of the most productive giants in 2024 and ranked in the 10 best NFL receivers.

He did it while treating the same toe injury, apparently.
So, although it is not ideal that Nabers has not yet been on the ground, it is not too worrying either.
