Terrific news for the #Giants. Barring a setback, the Week 1 goal for Malik Nabers is on track to be met. Via @MikeGarafolo on X

What happened: John Harbaugh said he thinks Nabers is ready to go, but stopped short of confirming he will play. His availability remains conditional on how he feels.

Why it matters: Nabers progressed from individual drills in July to live drills in August. That progression puts a season-opening role within reach for the New York Giants.

What to watch: Watch for a game-status decision as the Giants assess how Nabers responds to practice. [Giants practice update](https://www.giants.com/news/coach-john-harbaugh-previews-season-opener-malik-nabers-dallas-cowboys).
