One of the big questions surrounding the New York Giants this summer is whether their No. 1 wide receiver, Malik Nabers, will be ready for the regular season.
With 12 days until the Giants' opener against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football at MetLife Stadium, the question remains unanswered.
Nabers tore his ACL and meniscus last October and had a complicated rehab after surgery. He then needed a second surgery this spring to "clean up" scar tissue.
Nabers told reporters on Monday that he's not sure if he'll play in the opener, but he's doing everything he can to get ready.
"My mind is focused on playing the regular season, playing whenever that is and playing what team it is," he said. "I'm going to be making sure that I'm ready to go out
there and I'm healthy enough to play all four quarters. That nobody got to make sure I'm not in on every play, or they have to make sure I got enough snaps or my snaps are limited. So, that's the main focus is just trying to be out there as much as I can."
The decision is not all Nabers' to make. The Giants' medical and training staff have to sign off on his return to 100 percent participation.
"I feel pretty good. Well, I feel real good, to be honest. 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," said Nabers. "So, I'm still going through that, still listening to the trainers, still listening to doctors and sharing everything with them."
What checkpoints was he speaking of?
"I'm going to keep the checkpoints in-house. It's not really anything too big, but as I said, I'm going to keep it more in-house and just to myself."
And the saga continues.
