The Giants' offseason workout program begins on Tuesday, April 7. Malik Nabers and Cam Skattebo will be there.
How much they do in the coming weeks and months remains to be seen.
The former had the encore to his record-setting rookie campaign cut short due to a knee injury. The latter was off to his own historic start before he suffered a gruesome ankle injury.
General manager Joe Schoen spoke about their statuses at the NFL Annual League Meeting in Phoenix, one week before players report back to the Quest Diagnostics Training Center.
First up was Nabers.
Schoen is "hopeful" the electric wide receiver will be ready from the jump in Week 1.
"It's going to be great to see him next week," Schoen said. "He'll be in on Tuesday and [it will be a chance to] see him, let our doctors get our hands on him, but we've been in communication with texts, phone calls. [Assistant general manager] Brandon Brown had dinner with him last Sunday when we were down there for the Miami pro day, so we've been in constant communication with him. He's in great spirits. He feels good. So, [we're] optimistic."
There is always a caveat, however, when it comes to every injury for every player.
"Like I always say, we'll see," Schoen said. "As long as there's not a setback or whatever it may be, optimistic Week 1, he'll be ready. But again, you just never tell with these things and how they're going to react or if there's any setbacks. But he's in a good spot right now mentally and physically."
Skattebo, meanwhile, was just spotted at Arizona's pro day on Friday. The time and location lined up nicely for team executives to get a look at the school's prospects before the league meetings. Schoen was one of them.
"[He was] jogging around, running, jumping on ex-teammates' backs and stuff like that. I said, Will you stop?" Schoen said with a laugh. "But he's declaring himself he's ready to go. So it'll be good to see him next week as well. We'll ease him back. Obviously we don't play until September, but he's in good headspace, physically as well."
