Giants Hand Chargers First Loss Behind Dart's Debut as Report Confirms Malik Nabers' Season-Ending ACL Tear

A Monday report citing imaging says the second-year star tore his right ACL, ending his season.

Overview

  • New York beat previously unbeaten Los Angeles 21-18 at MetLife to move to 1-3, with rookie Jaxson Dart running for a touchdown and throwing another in his first NFL start.
  • Dart completed 13 of 20 passes for 111 yards and rushed 10 times for 54 yards, opening with a 15-yard score and later finding tight end Theo Johnson from three yards.
  • Malik Nabers exited on a cart in the second quarter after a non-contact right knee injury while attempting to track a deep pass down the right sideline.
  • Excélsior reports MRI testing at New York's Hospital for Special Surgery confirmed a torn right ACL for Nabers, ruling him out for the remainder of the season.
  • Odell Beckham Jr. urged the NFL on social media to eliminate artificial turf following the injury, and the Giants sealed the upset with a late Brian Burns sack that forced a Chargers punt.
