Malik Nabers is back on the field with the New York Giants.
After missing 12 straight days and the team's first two preseason games with an apparent back issue, Nabers was spotted practicing with the franchise on Tuesday.

Though he returned, Nabers was extremely limited on the field. He participated in individual drills, and then spent time off to the side on an elliptical machine, according to ESPN's Jordan Raanan.

Nabers missed nearly two weeks while dealing with what was described as "normal camp tightness" in his back. The Giants, however, declined to get into any specifics about Nabers' injury. That led to plenty of speculation amid his prolonged absence.
"Not going to get into any injuries," head coach Brian Daboll said last week. "[Nabers is] working hard to get back."
It's unclear how long it will take Nabers to work up to full strength, but Tuesday's appearance was a good first step. The Giants will play their final preseason game on Thursday, so it's very likely that Nabers will miss that contest and instead focus on their season opener against the Washington Commanders on Sept. 7.
Nabers had 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns on 109 catches last season, his first in the league after the Giants took him with the No. 6 overall pick out of LSU. The Giants went just 3-14, however, and are now regrouping with veteran quarterback Russell Wilson leading the team.
The Giants also had left tackle Andrew Thomas and running back Cam Skattebo return to practice from their respective injuries on Tuesday. Skattebo, who the team took in the fourth round of the NFL Draft earlier this year, has been battling a hamstring injury in recent weeks. Thomas underwent Lisfranc surgery on his foot last season, and has been on the PUP list since the start of the summer.
