What happened: Charlotte Carroll reported that Malik Nabers' family stayed away from the Giants' Week 1 opener, with his mother saying he needed to take that step on his own.

Why it matters: The detail adds context to a comeback that had been tracked for weeks, from individual drills in July to a late questionable tag before Week 1. It also casts the opener as a personal milestone after Nabers remained questionable for Week 1 as late as Sept. 12.

What to watch: Attention now shifts to how the Giants handle Nabers in Week 2 with his first game back behind him.
