Malik Nabers has learned how to toe the line between playing hurt and being injured.
After he sat out all OTAs and minicamp while managing a toe injury that has lingered since his days at LSU, Nabers was back on the field to catch three touchdowns in red-zone drills Wednesday as the Giants opened training camp.
“In spring, we had a great rehab to try to get me back,” Nabers said. “So I’m back feeling a little better, feeling healthy. Out there running around, I felt good.”
Nabers is coming off a record-setting 109-catch, 1,204-yard rookie season, so there isn’t much for him to prove during training camp.
As such, Nabers expects that the Giants training staff and coaches will closely track his day-to-day workload throughout the summer. But surgery is not a consideration at this time like it has been in the past.

“That’s not up in the air,” Nabers said. “Decisions will be made when the time is made. Right now, I’m just focusing on locking in and getting ready for the season. There’s been talk about (surgery) — just never really came to complete thought in mind for me to do it. I’ve been managing it well. Everything has been going with the rehab.”
Nabers said “time will tell” if the injury is something that is ever completely cleared up.
