Giants’ Malik Nabers Carted Off With Knee Injury, Believed To Have Torn ACL

Team officials await test results to confirm the diagnosis.

Overview

  • The injury came on a deep attempt during a free play after Chargers linebacker Troy Dye jumped offside, with Nabers’ right leg appearing to buckle as he leaped.
  • The Giants ruled Nabers out for the remainder of the game, and head coach Brian Daboll said he had no immediate update postgame.
  • NFL Network reporters Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero said Nabers is believed to have torn his ACL, a setback that would likely sideline him long term if confirmed.
  • New York beat Los Angeles 21-18 in Jaxson Dart’s first NFL start, as the rookie quarterback ran for a touchdown and threw another in the team’s first win of the season.
  • The non-contact injury renewed criticism of MetLife Stadium’s synthetic turf, with former Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr. publicly calling for the NFL to move away from artificial surfaces.
