## Nabers plays through uncertainty
Malik Nabers' status for Sunday's game against Dallas was unclear until hours before kickoff, but the star receiver decided to take the field at MetLife Stadium.
## Six catches in comeback win
In his first game back since tearing his ACL in Week 4 of last season, Nabers caught six passes for 69 yards in the Giants' 28-20 victory over the Cowboys.
## Harbaugh: trainers say he looked great
Giants head coach John Harbaugh said the trainers reported Nabers looked like an 'A' after the game, though he hadn't directly asked the receiver about his status.

## Nabers needed to feel it
Nabers said he had to experience game-day conditions and feel his body's readiness before committing to play, which he got in Sunday's matchup.

> I had to feel that I wanted to play. I had to feel it.
## Next test: Rams on Monday
The Giants face the Los Angeles Rams on Monday night at 8:15 p.m. ET in Week 2, with Nabers expected to be available after his successful return.
