Giants WR Malik Nabers Carted Off With Knee Injury During Chargers Game

East Rutherford, NJ — Wide receiver Malik Nabers of the New York Giants suffered a serious knee injury during the second quarter of Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers. The incident occurred when Nabers attempted to catch a deep pass from quarterback Jaxson Dart, and his knee buckled after he leaped for the ball.

Nabers fell to the ground in visible pain, prompting the team to call for a cart. He was quickly transported to the locker room for further evaluation. As of now, the Giants have not released any updates on Nabers’ condition, but initial fears suggest a potential torn ACL or MCL.

This injury marks a significant setback for the Giants, who were hoping to build on a promising start against the undefeated Chargers. Before being injured, Nabers had two catches for 20 yards, contributing to the Giants’ 10-3 lead with just over four minutes remaining in the first half.

Nabers, the sixth overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft, had a standout rookie season, recording over 1,000 yards despite transitioning quarterbacks. His potential soared with Dart making his debut as the starting quarterback, but this injury raises concerns about his sophomore year.

When Nabers exited the game, Dart had completed five of eight passes for 51 yards and had one rushing touchdown. The Giants’ offense had shown promise, but the loss of a key player like Nabers casts a shadow over their efforts.

The team and fans alike are awaiting further news on Nabers’ injury, hoping it is not as severe as it appeared on the field.
