ESPN's Jordan Raanan believes WR Malik Nabers is "trending towards being ready Week 1 for the Dallas Cowboys." Nabers has participated in 9 of 10 training camp practices so far, per Raanan, and "looked better as the summer progressed." Nabers is expected to join 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 work within the next couple of weeks.
What They're Saying
Raanan: "Nabers cut, ran routes, looked good doing it, even jumped and landed on the affected knee that he tore early last season."

Reports on Nabers' progress have been positive since camp opened. He still hasn't returned to full-time work, but he has a little over a month before the opener against the Cowboys.
We still project Nabers to miss Week 1 as a slight hedge against a setback or the Giants playing it extra safe with their star receiver. But if he keeps progressing over the next few weeks, he'll climb the WR rankings.
Projected ADP Movement: Price is Rising
Nabers has climbed back into the middle of Round 3 in consensus PPR ADP, about a half round ahead of his bottom.
He's still a positive value at current prices, according to our ADP Market Index. But don't be surprised to see Nabers ascend into Round 2 if the news stays positive.
