Optimism That Malik Nabers Will Play in Week 1

Sunday, August 9, 5:14 AM

Following an offseason of uncertainty after a season-ending knee injury in 2025, New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) avoided the PUP list to begin training camp and has participated in nine of the team's ten practices to date, with ESPN's Jordan Raanan reporting that he has looked better as the summer progressed. Head coach John Harbaugh told Raanan that Nabers would continue to see more work in team drills, and the expectation is that he could be ready to play in Week 1 when the Giants face the Dallas Cowboys. Nabers is RotoBaller's WR12 and a player who could work his way into the overall WR1 conversation on a week-to-week basis by season's end.

Emeka Egbuka Back at Practice

Thursday, August 6, 6:36 AM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Emeka Egbuka is back in action on Thursday after being held out of Tuesday night's indoor practice session with lower body soreness. With a scheduled off day on Wednesday, the team was able to exercise an abundance of caution, holding the second-year receiver out along with Chris Godwin Jr. and Jalen McMillan. While Egbuka and Godwin have returned to practice, McMillan remains out after banging his knee, as does Tez Johnson, who exited Tuesday's session with a groin strain. Egbuka's play trailed off in his rookie season, following a historically strong start, but an improving connection with quarterback Baker Mayfield has expectations high for his second season, and he is being drafted as the WR18.
