Nov 8, 2026; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA; New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (1) is unable to hold onto the ball against Philadelphia Eagles defensive back Cooper DeJean (33) during the fourth quarter at Lincoln Financial Field.
The New York Giants are currently 5-2-1 and sit atop the NFC East, something nobody saw coming at the beginning of the year. But superstar wide receiver Malik Nabers still isn’t happy.
Now, Nabers seems to have no issue with the team or his play. In his first season back from a torn ACL, Nabers has 53 catches for 648 yards and two touchdowns through eight games.
That puts him on pace for 113 catches, 1,377 yards, and four touchdowns over the course of the entire season. Those first two numbers would eclipse his stellar rookie season.
But during Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles, former Pro Bowl tight end and current Fox announcer Greg Olsen wasn’t a fan of Nabers’ body language.
Since people are going to just make up quotes and put worlds in my mouth, here were my comments on Malik Nabers
At no point did we ever say he was a bad teammate.

Malik Nabers Claps Back At Greg Olsen
Nabers took exception to Olsen’s comments, immediately taking to Instagram to refute his claims.
“Yall be trying [to] create a narrative on me soo bad, it’s actually crazy. If you [don’t] like the way I play the game, keep the camera off me!! SIMPLE!” he wrote as part of a since-deleted Instagram story.
“But [Olsen] calling me a bad teammate when every team I’ve been on, there’s NOBODY I’ve played with has said dat bout me is crazy!
“My face the same way if I’m having a good game, bad, winning or losing. If it’s a problem: 1. Keep the camera off of me. 2. Pray bout it! Simple.”

Olsen, however, refutes the idea that he called Nabers a bad teammate.
“Since people are going to just make up quotes and put words in my mouth, here were my comments on Malik Nabers,” he said in a tweet. “At no point did we ever say he was a bad teammate.”
Technically, Olsen is correct. He didn’t call Nabers a bad teammate. But he did sort of insinuate it. So you can understand how both sides came out of this unhappy.
