Even after the Giants ’ celebrated reunion with once-elite wide receiver Odell Beckham , that question continues to linger.
And it certainly matters a lot more than what jersey number Beckham will wear.
The Giants on Monday signed three fading veteran receivers — Beckham, Braxton Berrios (who has returner potential) and JuJu Smith-Schuster.
Their receiver room needs healthy bodies, with Darius Slayton (core muscle surgery) out for the spring, returner Gunner Olszewski (torn Achilles tendon) done for the year and Nabers continuing to recover from a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee.
Obviously, Nabers is the Giants’ No. 1 receiver. They desperately need him. They ideally would have him for the Sept. 13 season opener against the Cowboys.

But based on his current situation, it’s entirely possible Nabers misses the opener — and maybe a couple more games after that.
That’s the outlook of Dr. Carlos Uquillas , an orthopedic surgeon at Cedars-Sinai Orthopaedics in Los Angeles and a team physician for the Los Angeles Angels.
