NY Giants WR Malik Nabers Avoids PUP

With the New York Giants set to report to training camp on Tuesday, Big Blue has some good news. Wide receiver Malik Neighbors, who is in the final phases of his recovery from a torn ACL, and running back Cam Skadaboo, who has been recovering from an ankle injury, are not among the three players the team announced will start training camp on the Pup List. The news about Neighbors is particularly encouraging, not only because of what he he can now fully participate in practice activities that would otherwise be off-limits were he to start on Pup. That said, Neighbors is not necessarily 100% ready to go in terms of he'll have zero restrictions out there. He will, however, begin ramping up with his teammates, something that he couldn't fully do had he been on Pup. Watching how Neighbors' reps are distributed each day will be very telling in terms of his progress towards being ready for week one of the regular season. The Giants are hoping that by then, their top receiver will be able to fully go with zero restrictions or pitch counts put on him. The three Giants who are starting training camp on Pup, by the way, are defensive lineman Roy Robertson-Harris, who tore his Achilles tendon back in the spring, defensive lineman Sam Roberts, who is recovering from an undisclosed surgery, and Tynan Thomas Fedoni II, who had a cleanup procedure done on his foot.
