Overview

  • An MRI on Monday confirmed a torn right ACL for Nabers after he was injured on a deep route in Sunday’s win over the Chargers and carted off the field.
  • ESPN and Reuters reported the diagnosis, noting the imaging was conducted at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York.
  • Nabers, 22, leaves the lineup after posting 18 catches for 271 yards and two touchdowns this year following a 2024 Pro Bowl season with a franchise-record 109 receptions.
  • Head coach Brian Daboll emphasized a “next man up” approach as Darius Slayton and Wan’Dale Robinson are positioned for bigger roles, with league analysis suggesting more two–tight end usage.
  • Odell Beckham Jr. castigated synthetic turf and urged the NFL to switch surfaces as MetLife Stadium’s field draws renewed scrutiny despite a 2023 replacement.
