Malik Nabers returned to form for the New York Giants in their victory over the Arizona Cardinals, catching six passes for 112 yards and a touchdown at MetLife Stadium. This performance marked a significant improvement from his previous games this season and came after he had undergone surgery on his right knee last year. Nabers expressed confidence that this was just the beginning of his comeback, noting that he felt good throughout the week but didn’t want to jinx himself before the game.

Story summary
Malik Nabers, the Giants' No. 1 receiver, delivered a standout performance in their victory over the Cardinals at MetLife Stadium, catching six passes for 112 yards and a touchdown as the Giants won 36-24 on Sunday. This marks significant progress since Nabers tore his ACL and meniscus in Week 4 last season, an injury that sidelined him for most of the year. Despite initial hesitations, he showed no signs of rust, hinting at his return to pre-injury form after extensive rehabilitation. While acknowledging further improvements are needed, Nabers’ performance was crucial in lifting the Giants' record to 3-1 and securing first place in the NFC East.
