.@BaldyNFL breaks down Malik Nabers' performance 💪 https://t.co/UCCiJHLjeN Via @Giants on X

What happened: The former sixth overall pick out of LSU is working back from a right shoulder injury. Against Arizona came his first 100-yard game and touchdown since the Nabers injury.

Why it matters: The production restores a downfield option as the offense adjusts to J.J. McCarthy with Jaxson Dart out for the season after knee surgery. Per ESPN, Nabers caught 18 passes for 271 yards and 2 touchdowns in 4 games in 2025, a baseline for his current role.

By the numbers: 6 catches, 112 yards, 1 TD vs. Cardinals; 18 catches for 271 yards and 2 TD in 4 games in 2025; drafted 6th overall in 2024 out of LSU.

What to watch: Watch whether Nabers handles another full workload in the next game. Continued production would stabilize the passing game under McCarthy.
