Thursday, September 4, 2025 - John Harbaugh, head coach of the New York Giants, provided reassurance regarding wide receiver Malik Nabers' readiness for the upcoming Week 2 game against the Los Angeles Rams.

He went on to have a productive game, recording six catches for 69 yards as the Giants secured a 28-20 victory over their division rivals.
When questioned about Nabers' current injury status during a Wednesday press conference, Harbaugh declined to ask the player directly. Instead, he relied on the opinions of the team's medical staff, who suggested that Nabers appeared to be in good health. "Looked like an A, I would say," Harbaugh commented, emphasizing the trainers' assessment.
He noted that Nabers' positive demeanor indicated that he felt he was capable of playing. "I had to feel that I wanted to play. I had to feel it," Nabers admitted following his performance in the previous game. He explained that he had to be convinced that his body was ready and capable of handling the game-day demands. Despite the eagerness for fans to see him back on the field, Nabers stressed that he needed to genuinely feel ready and energized before taking the field.
The Giants face the Los Angeles Rams in their next match, which is scheduled to kick off at 8:15 p.m. ET on Monday night.
