No one would have blamed Brian Daboll if the Giants head coach breathed a sigh of relief Wednesday as he watched his best player on both sides of the ball go through practice.

After he sat out all OTAs and minicamp while managing a toe injury that has lingered since his days at LSU, Malik Nabers caught three touchdowns in red zone drills during the first day of training camp.

“In spring, we had a great rehab to try to get me back,” Nabers said. “So I’m back feeling a little better, feeling healthy. Out there running around, I felt good.”

Pro Bowl defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence played limited 11-on-11 snaps, too, for the first time since he suffered a season-ending dislocated elbow on Thanksgiving.

Lawrence joked that the hardest part of his rehab was showering.

“I think we all have a good plan right now,” Lawrence said. “It is a day-by-day thing, but I’m feeling good.”

Nabers is coming off a record-setting 109-catch, 1,204-yard rookie season, so there isn’t much for him to prove during training camp.

As such, Nabers expects that the Giants training staff and coaches will closely track his day-to-day workload throughout the summer.

But surgery is not a consideration at this time, like it has been in the past.

“That’s not up in the air,” Nabers said. “Decisions will be made when the time is made. Right now, I’m just focusing on locking in and getting ready for the season. There’s been talk about [surgery] — just never really came to complete thought in mind for me to do it. I’ve been managing it well. Everything has been going with the rehab.”

Nabers said “time will tell” if the injury is something that is ever completely cleared up.

LT Andrew Thomas, who was placed on the physically unable to perform list as he recovers from foot surgery to repair a Lisfranc injury in October, is expected back in time to play Sept. 7 against the Commanders.

“He should be ready for the opener,” general manager Joe Schoensaid. “Again, things change. You can never be 100 percent, but we’re going to take it day by day with him.”

Lawrence, who is the 10th highest-paid defensive tackle in an exploding market, said there have been no discussions between his agents and the Giants about adjusting his four-year, $87.5 million contract.

“I mean, right now, I just want to win,” Lawrence said. “I know if I do that and I keep being who I know I am, it is all going to take care of itself and that’s all I can do.”

The Giants committed $230 million in free agency — only the Patriots and Vikings spent more, according to Spotrac.com — to upgrade a 3-14 roster.

So, did they build a playoff team?

“I understand the question, but the expectation is we’re going to be a competitive team, a competitive roster,” Schoen said. “And again, all that starts today.”
