Giants' Malik Nabers Carted Off With Right Knee Injury, MRI Monday After Reports He May Have Torn ACL

Pending MRI results will determine severity, guiding how the Giants reconfigure their receiving options.

Overview

  • New York ruled the wide receiver out after he landed awkwardly on a deep attempt with 6:12 left in the second quarter and was carted off holding his right knee.
  • Head coach Brian Daboll confirmed Nabers would not return, and imaging is scheduled for Monday to establish an official diagnosis, per multiple reports including ESPN.
  • NFL Network reporters Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero reported the injury is believed to be a torn ACL, a status not yet confirmed by the team.
  • The play occurred during rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart’s first NFL start, which began with a nine‑play, 89‑yard drive capped by a 15‑yard rushing touchdown.
  • With Nabers sidelined, receivers Wan’Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton and Jalin Hyatt are expected to take on larger roles as the Giants adjust their passing game.
