Nabers, who suffered a torn ACL (and meniscus) in Week 4 against the Los Angeles Chargers, is on schedule.<\/p>\n
“Malik is trending to hopefully be ready for training camp,” Schoen said<\/a>. “Things can change … but that’s the hope.”<\/p>\n Harbaugh, who spoke with Nabers by phone, praised the rookie’s work ethic.<\/p>\n “I had a chance to talk to Malik on the phone,” Harbaugh said after the press conference. “It was great. He was training out in LA, rehabbing out there for a week or whatever it was and working hard. I just love talking to him. His joy and excitement, he had some really good ideas, he’s really a thoughtful guy.<\/p>\n Expert NFL picks: Exclusive betting insights only at USA TODAY.<\/a><\/p>\n “Obviously, saw him coming out (of LSU). He wasn’t a guy we had a chance for, so it was like, ‘Well, look at this guy, he’s really good.’ Just kind of a dream. I figured we might have to cover him someday, and here we are, we get a chance to coach him. So I’m really excited about it.”<\/p>\n However, sports medicine physician Dr. Jesse Morse cautioned that Nabers likely won’t be ready for Week 1<\/a> due to the meniscus repair and prolonged recovery markers, potentially landing on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list.<\/p>\n Skattebo, sidelined by a dislocated ankle in Week 8 at Philadelphia, is fully on track.<\/p>\n “He’ll be fine,” Schoen said. “He’ll actually be prepared for the offseason program on April 6. He should be good.”<\/p>\n
