Giants Settle on In-House Plan After Malik Nabers' Season-Ending Knee Injury

Surgery is expected within two weeks, with Jalin Hyatt poised for a larger role alongside rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart.

Overview

  • Team confirmation of a torn ACL was followed by reporting that Nabers also has a partially torn lateral meniscus that doctors plan to repair during ACL reconstruction without extending the recovery timeline.
  • ESPN reporting indicates the Giants are not pursuing a like-for-like replacement and intend to rely on their current receivers.
  • New York scheduled a workout for free agent Samori Toure while preparing to elevate internal options such as Darius Slayton, Wan'Dale Robinson, Jalin Hyatt and rookie Beaux Collins.
  • Hyatt said Nabers told him "it's my chance," and coaches signaled opportunities for Hyatt and Collins, who have yet to be targeted through four games.
  • Russell Wilson publicly encouraged Nabers, as the Giants rework the passing game for Dart’s second start with a Week 5 trip to the Saints.
