Speaking to reporters on Monday, he indicated that he would keep his return timeline private but expressed feeling well. \"I feel pretty good. Well, I feel real good, to be honest,\" Nabers stated. \"But like I said, you’re going to feel good, but there’s still some things that you still have to check off the box for you to participate. So, I’m still going through that, still listening to the trainers, still listening to doctors and sharing everything with them.\"",
