New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers has reportedly undergone a second surgery on his injured knee.
Nabers, 22, first underwent surgery on his ACL and meniscus on October 28. The second knee surgery involved removing scar tissue that was causing stiffness, according to The Athletic.
Nabers’ schedule is not expected to be affected, as the second surgery took place weeks ago and was considered a cleanup, according to multiple reports.

The team is still hopeful that Nabers will play in the Week 1 game against the Dallas Cowboys on September 13.
Nabers tore the ACL and meniscus in his right knee on September 28 during the Giants’ victory against the Los Angeles Chargers. The win marked Jaxson Dart’s first career start, and the rookie quarterback didn’t even get to play the half with his top receiver due to the injury.
Nabers was on his way to a dominant sophomore season before the injury. In four games, he had 18 catches for 271 yards and two touchdowns.

As a rookie, Nabers caught a franchise record 109 passes for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns despite poor quarterback play.
The Giants hope Nabers continues to thrive as the team’s No. 1 wide receiver for Dart, despite revamping their wide receiver room this offseason.
