Giants Lose Malik Nabers for Season as Meniscus Update Sets Surgery Timeline

New York expects surgery within two weeks, opting to replace his production from within.

Overview

  • Team confirmation of a torn ACL was followed by reporting of a partially torn lateral meniscus, which The Athletic says is common and not expected to extend recovery.
  • Dan Duggan reports surgery is likely within the next week or two, with the meniscus addressed during ACL reconstruction.
  • ESPN reporting indicates the Giants do not plan an aggressive trade for a replacement, with a team source saying there are no true replacements for Nabers.
  • The Giants are exploring depth moves such as a workout for free agent Samori Toure while preparing to elevate Jalin Hyatt and rookie Beaux Collins alongside Wan’Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton.
  • Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart adjusts for Week 5 at the Saints without his top target, as Hyatt says Nabers told him, "It’s my chance."
