Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart said the coach tackled Nabers in practice before the wide receiver’s first game back in nearly a year.
• The physical exchange was intended to help Nabers regain confidence and prepare for game contact.
• Nabers returned against the Dallas Cowboys, marking a major step in his recovery.
• He made six catches in the Giants’ upset victory over Dallas.
• Dart’s account offers a glimpse into the preparation behind Nabers’ comeback and Harbaugh’s hands-on coaching style.
Nabers’ return gives New York an important offensive weapon as the season progresses. His ability to contribute immediately, despite the long layoff, was a notable development in the Giants’ victory. The team has not indicated whether the tackle was part of a formal drill, but the moment underscored the psychological demands athletes can face after a serious injury. The details were reported by SNY Giants.
