If you’re a New York Giants fan wondering why Malik Nabers hasn’t had surgery yet, you’re not alone. When head coach Brian Daboll told reporters Thursday the superstar wide receiver still hadn't had surgery nearly four weeks after tearing his ACL, naturally, it garnered some attention. Initial response? Inconsolable panic. The reality? Super normal.
The 22-year-old went down with a non-contact injury in Week 4 during Jaxson Dart’s first career start under center — the cruelest of twists that immediately stunted any chemistry between New York's future star duo. After his earlyu2011season breakout, the hope was that Big Blue’s passing game would level up with Nabers as Dart’s primary weapon
Instead, the team lost its most electric receiver, and now some fans are left wondering what's holding the surgery up, likely thinking the worst.
