Overview
- The Giants confirmed Malik Nabers tore his ACL in Week 4 against the Chargers and will miss the remainder of the 2025 season.
- The Athletic reported a partially torn lateral meniscus in the same knee, a common pairing with ACL tears that is not expected to extend his recovery timeline.
- Nabers is slated for ACL reconstruction within the next week or two, with the meniscus likely repaired during the procedure, and no additional knee damage was reported.
- Team leadership signaled no pursuit of a marquee replacement, per ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, instead elevating Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton and giving chances to Jalin Hyatt and rookie Beaux Collins, while hosting lesser-name tryouts such as Samori Toure.
- Support poured in from around the team, including Russell Wilson’s public message, and Hyatt said Nabers told him to treat the opportunity as his moment to step up with Jaxson Dart.
