  "account": "New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers, who returned to practice in Week 1 following an ACL tear in 2025, missed Wednesday's session due to knee soreness. The discomfort, described by Nabers as \"just sore,\" persisted throughout the week, though he remains determined to push through. Upgraded to limited participation on Thursday, Nabers returned to action on Friday as the Giants gear up for Sunday's Week 5 game against the Washington Commanders. Speaking to reporters on Friday, head coach John Harbaugh confirmed Nabers' availability for the upcoming match. Nabers had his best season performance to date in Sunday's Week 4 victory over the Arizona Cardinals, recording six catches for 112 yards and a touchdown. His current season totals stand at 18 catches for 208 yards. Sunday's crucial matchup against the Commanders, a division rival, is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. ET.",
