Giants news: CB Paulson Adebo placed on IR, Malik Nabers, more

The New York Giants kicked off their 2026 campaign with a 28-20 victory against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football, securing their first Week 1 win over Dallas since 2016 and moving past the memory of a 40-0 season-opening blowout defeat to them three years prior. Under new head coach John Harbaugh and his newly assembled staff, the offense saw wide receiver Malik Nabers make his return following a torn ACL alongside running back Cam Skattebo and second-year quarterback Jaxson Dart.

Both Nabers and Skattebo expressed confidence that the strong offensive showing was merely a preview of what lies ahead.

Looking ahead to Week 2, the team prepares for a Monday Night Football matchup on the road against the Los Angeles Rams, where Skattebo has already garnered attention as a prominent fantasy football option. However, the roster faces an early setback on the defensive side of the ball, as cornerback Paulson Adebo has been placed on injured reserve.
