Overview

• Coach Brian Daboll ruled Nabers out after he went down at 6:12 of the second quarter and was taken to the locker room on a cart.
• Nabers’ right leg appeared to buckle on a deep shot on a free play following a Chargers offsides, and he had two catches for 20 yards before exiting.
• Multiple NFL reporters, including Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero, said the injury is believed to be a torn ACL, though the team has not issued an official diagnosis.
• Jaxson Dart, in his first NFL start, opened with a nine-play, 89-yard drive capped by a 15-yard rushing touchdown, then later dealt with hamstring tightness as Russell Wilson briefly entered; Dart cleared concussion protocol and returned.
• The injury renewed scrutiny of MetLife Stadium’s synthetic turf, with commentators noting the surface change two years ago and plans for natural grass for next year’s World Cup.
