Malik Nabers, the Giants' wide receiver who is rehabbing from ACL surgery, has told the team he plans to attend the start of their voluntary offseason workouts on April 7. Giants general manager Joe Schoen expressed optimism that Nabers will be ready to resume normal football activities well before the start of the regular season, barring any setbacks in his recovery.

Why it matters

Nabers' return to the field will be a boost for the Giants' receiving corps as they look to build on their success from last season. The team is hopeful he can contribute early in the year after missing time due to the injury.

The details

Nabers has been working out in Miami, and when the Giants' front office and scouting contingent visited the University of Miami's pro day last week, assistant GM Brandon Brown took the opportunity to have dinner with Nabers. Schoen said the team's doctors will get a chance to evaluate Nabers when he joins the team for the start of workouts next week.
