Overview

  • Nabers injured his right knee on a leaping attempt at a deep pass on a free play late in the second quarter and was carted off; the team ruled him out for the rest of the game.
  • Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero reported he is believed to have torn his ACL, though the Giants have not issued a formal diagnosis.
  • An MRI is scheduled for Monday to confirm the severity after on-field evaluations and video-based assessments by independent sports doctors pointed to an ACL injury.
  • The setback came during Jaxson Dart’s first NFL start, raising concerns about the rookie quarterback’s development without his top target.
  • If Nabers misses extended time, targets are expected to shift to Wan’Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton and Jalin Hyatt; Nabers made the Pro Bowl as a rookie with 109 catches for 1,204 yards and had been a focal point again this season.
