WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. (AP) — Malik Nabers insists he does not know what the "PUP" list means — the place where players land if they are physically unable to perform at the start of training camp.
At least this year, he doesn't need to. He's on the field at camp with the New York Giants, and all eyes are on the No. 1 receiver who is starting to regain his previous dynamic form.
Now 10 months removed from tearing the ACL in his right knee and still on a lengthy road back from the injury, Nabers is not yet a full participant in practice. But the Giants' No. 1 receiver is running routes at full speed during individual drills and sparking optimism that he'll be healthy enough to play in a game sooner than later.
"It felt good," Nabers said Thursday after the second practice of camp in the mountains of West Virginia. "I mean, I might not show it. I like to be a person that you never know my facial expressions. I'm always just smooth and calm. But it felt good to be out there with the guys, get a couple throws, just move around."
Nabers, who turned 23 on Tuesday, sounded more hopeful about his future than he did in early January, when he walked with the **** istance of a cane the previous weekend as a precaution and would not commit to being ready for the season opener. Saying at the time, "If my body doesn't feel right, then I'm not going to go out there," he began a period of lingering pessimism that began to fade a bit this week when he did not land on the PUP list and was a visible part of the team.
