Giants' Malik Nabers Brushes Aside Injury Woes, Eyes Breakout Season with Wilson

As the 2025 NFL season approaches, the New York Giants are counting on star wide receiver Malik Nabers to lead their passing attack. Nabers, who missed the final two preseason games and 12 days of practice earlier this month due to a back injury, insists the issue is a "minor thing" and won't be a problem going forward.

The 25-year-old receiver, who led the league in targets per game and had over 1,200 receiving yards in 2024, has quickly built a strong rapport with new Giants quarterback Russell Wilson. The two spent time together this offseason, including a trip to San Diego, and their chemistry was evident during training camp practices.

"We've been on the same page a lot," Nabers said. "That connection is going to keep growing." Wilson echoed those sentiments, saying he believes Nabers "is going to have a great year" and praising his versatility as a deep threat and short-to-mid-range weapon.

After dealing with a litany of minor injuries last season, Nabers is focused on staying healthy and helping the Giants win games in 2025. "Looking to win some game," he said. "That's all I can say. I'm looking to win."
