Josh Jacobs News
Monday, August 24, 11:51 AM
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (groin) took team reps Monday and looked sharp doing it. Ryan Wood reported that Jacobs showed good burst through the middle on inside-zone runs after spending most of August working his way back from a groin injury. This is a bigger step than his return last week, when Jacobs was limited to individual drills after nearly two weeks on the sideline. He is coming off a 2025 season in which he rushed 234 times for 929 yards and 13 touchdowns in 15 games, while adding 36 catches for 282 yards and another score. Green Bay has been cautious with Jacobs throughout August, but getting him back into team work and seeing that kind of burst is encouraging with the regular season approaching. Monday looked much closer to normal work for the veteran back.

Malik Nabers News
Monday, August 24, 11:38 AM
New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) took another meaningful step Monday, shedding the red non-contact jersey and working into both 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 periods, according to Connor Hughes. Nabers wasn't a full participant and the Giants practiced without pads, but this was still his first contact-type work since tearing his ACL and meniscus last season. He also made a diving catch coming back to the ball on an intermediate route. Nabers had already returned to full-speed team periods last week while still wearing the red jersey, so Monday moves the recovery forward again. He caught 18 passes for 271 yards and two touchdowns in four games before the injury ended his 2025 season. Week 1 has not been formally guaranteed by the team, but Hughes said the outlook continues to look good. With Nabers now taking live reps without the non-contact jersey, he's cleared another important hurdle before the opener.
