## Resource

Malik Nabers is recovering faster than expected, and Connor Hughes believes the Giants’ optimism about a Week 1 return is justified barring a setback. But his progress also exposes the team’s biggest concern: a wide receiver room that has failed to produce a clear No. 2 option. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber as Hughes explains why Odell Beckham Jr. still has to earn his roster spot, how John Harbaugh has immediately made Giants camp feel more professional, and why Abdul Carter is already taking over practices against Andrew Thomas. The Giants may have raised their floor, but their passing game still depends heavily on Nabers getting healthy.
