"New York Giants star wide receiver Malik Nabers underwent surgery Tuesday to repair a torn ACL in his right knee and will begin rehabilitation Wednesday after being discharged from the hospital. The procedure was done exactly one month to the day of the injury, and it was performed by Cowboys head team physician Dr. Daniel E. Cooper, a source told ESPN. It was deemed successful after allowing the swelling to subside and undergoing prehab over the past few weeks."
"Nabers had a record-breaking rookie season last year after being selected with the sixth pick out of LSU. He caught a franchise-record 109 passes for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns. The talented wide receiver looked ready to build upon that success. He had 18 catches for 271 yards and two touchdowns prior to the injury this season. His 127 receptions through the first 19 games of his career rank second to Odell Beckham Jr. in NFL history for the most through 20 games."
Malik Nabers, 22, underwent successful surgery Tuesday to repair a torn ACL in his right knee and will begin rehabilitation Wednesday after hospital discharge. The procedure occurred one month after the injury and was performed by Cowboys head team physician Dr. Daniel E. Cooper following prehab and reduced swelling. ACL injuries typically take about nine months to recover, placing Nabers on track to be available before next September. The injury happened in Week 4 when he reached for his right knee and left on a cart. Nabers recorded 109 catches for 1,204 yards as a rookie and had 18 catches for 271 yards this season before the injury. The Giants are 2-6 and also lost rookie Cam Skattebo for the season.
