"Malik Nabers appears to be okay after an injury scare during Giants training camp on July 29, 2025. Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images It is not taking long for the drama to unfold within the New York Giants' ranks, as wide receiver Malik Nabers and head coach Brian Daboll had an animated discussion on the sidelines during the first half of Sunday's season-opening 21-6 loss to the Washington Commanders. The second-year receiver, who set a Giants franchise record with 109 catches as a rookie in 2024, was seen stalking the sidelines between the first and second quarter after having just one reception, upset that he was not getting the ball enough."
"Throughout the preseason, Nabers teased that he was going to be more vocal about just about everything, which is understandable considering he was one of the only bright spots of a 2024 season in which New York went a miserable 3-14. Consider this the first real showing of that, and with it came a startling revelation that things already don't seem quite right within Big Blue's ranks."
"Giants offense just as bad with Russell Wilson, drop opener 21-6 to Commanders Daboll followed him up the sideline, and the two were seen jawing at each other for a moment. Moments later, in a huddle, Daboll appeared to be trying to reconcile with Nabers, extending his hand to high-five him. Nabers did not return it."
Malik Nabers returned from an earlier training-camp injury scare and played in the season-opening loss to the Washington Commanders. Nabers recorded one reception and was visibly upset on the sideline about his lack of targets, prompting an animated exchange with coach Brian Daboll. Daboll approached Nabers on the sideline and later extended a conciliatory high-five in a huddle that Nabers did not return. Daboll described both as highly competitive and intent on getting Nabers the ball. Nabers had signaled increased vocal leadership during the preseason after a 2024 rookie season with 109 catches.
