Overview

  • New York ruled the star receiver out after he went down grabbing his right knee while leaping for a deep pass with 6:12 left in the second quarter.
  • Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero reported Nabers is believed to have torn his ACL, a view echoed by video-based medical commentators, though the team has not issued a diagnosis.
  • The injury occurred on a free play after a Chargers offsides, and Nabers was taken to the locker room on a cart as teammates gathered around him.
  • Head coach Brian Daboll offered no substantive postgame update, with further evaluation and MRI results expected to determine severity and timeline.
  • A prolonged absence would strip rookie QB Jaxson Dart of his top target, putting more on Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton and Jalin Hyatt as discussions about MetLife Stadium’s turf resurfaced.
