Jaxson Dart Explains the Importance of WR Malik Nabers
New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart talked about the importance of having a player like Malik Nabers on the field.
In the midst of the New York Giants' 2025 NFL season, starting quarterback Jaxson Dart took the helm in Week 4, coinciding with wide receiver Malik Nabers' devastating season-ending ACL injury. Despite the lack of in-game time between the two, Dart acknowledges the immense value Nabers brings to the offense. "You just love having a guy out there that changes the whole dynamic of an offense," Dart remarked after a joint practice with the Miami Dolphins.
"He's so competitive. He's another element to our team that can really bring an attitude of mental strength, but also the approach of what we want to be." Nabers, a third-year wideout, didn't participate in Thursday's joint practice as part of the team's recovery plan. However, he returned to practice on Monday for his first full-speed drills.
Nabers made quite an impact on the NFL stage as the Giants' No. 6 overall pick in 2024, amassing 109 catches for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns before tearing his ACL in Week 4. After the injury, he still managed to catch 18 passes for 271 yards and two scores. The Giants are set to kick off their regular-season campaign with a Week 1 showdown against the Dallas Cowboys on September 13.
