John Harbaugh Discusses Tackling Malik Nabers During Walkthrough
Following the New York Giants' 28-20 victory over the Dallas Cowboys, quarterback Jaxson Dart mentioned that head coach John Harbaugh tackled wide receiver Malik Nabers during a practice session. This was intended to demonstrate to Nabers that he could handle hits in preparation for the game.
Harbaugh confirmed the incident, describing it as a spontaneous moment that was enjoyable and lighthearted. He noted that some players reacted with surprise, questioning his actions. Despite being medically cleared to play, Nabers was still assessing his readiness to return from a previous injury.
Nabers performed well in the game, recording six receptions for 69 yards, but indicated he would evaluate his condition before the upcoming match against the Los Angeles Rams. Harbaugh reflected on similar interactions he had with players during his tenure with the Baltimore Ravens.
