  "account": "Giants receiver Malik Nabers made his highly anticipated return to action in Week 1, thanks to the unexpected tackle from head coach John Harbaugh during a walkthrough. The move came as a surprise to Nabers, who had been a full participant in practice but remained uncertain about his readiness to play. Nabers acknowledged that he only felt ready once he experienced how his body responded during warmups. Harbaugh's tackle appeared to provide a much-needed boost of confidence for Nabers, who had never been hit since his ACL injury last season. This bold move by the coach proved to be the catalyst for Nabers to play, contributing with 69 receiving yards on six catches in the game.",
  "summary": "It was unclear if Malik Nabers was going to play in the season opener, but he did. New York Giants head coach John Harbaugh could be to thank for that after taking matters into his own hands, literally.",
