Giants' Nabers says back injury was 'minor thing'

""A minor thing," Nabers said Wednesday of the back problem."

"One source described the problem at the time as little more than "normal camp tightness.""

""Yeah, I feel like I'm always ready," Nabers said. "When it's game time and those lights are on, I believe my body's going to turn it on. It's going to be ready.""

Malik Nabers missed the final two preseason games and 12 days earlier in camp because of a back issue that he and team sources describe as minor. Nabers returned to practice last Monday but was held out of the preseason finale as a precaution while starters sat out. The problem was characterized as normal camp tightness. Nabers also missed spring work with a toe injury and left a practice after a shoulder hit, but he entered summer in mostly full capacity. The Giants rely on him as their No. 1 receiver after a 1,204-yard season with 109 catches.
