Giants Star Malik Nabers Sidelined by Torn ACL, Ends 2025 Season
Giants Star Malik Nabers Suffers Serious Knee Injury
New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers is feared to have torn his ACL during the Week 4 game against the Los Angeles Chargers, a source told ESPN. The injury occurred in the second quarter as Nabers awkwardly stepped while running a deep route, leading to him being carted off the field. Giants coach Brian Daboll confirmed the torn ACL diagnosis on Monday, and Nabers was immediately placed on injured reserve, ending his 2025 season.
Nabers’ Impact and Season Overview
In his second year, Nabers quickly became the Giants’ top receiver, recording 16 catches for 251 yards and two touchdowns in the first three games. Last season, he set franchise rookie records with 109 receptions and 1,204 yards. His absence leaves a significant void in the Giants’ offense, as he was a key playmaker and deep threat for quarterback Jaxson Dart.
Team Response and Future Outlook
Coach Daboll expressed deep sympathy for Nabers and emphasized the “next man up” mentality. The Giants will now rely on backup receivers to step up as they navigate the challenges of the season without their star wideout. Nabers’ recovery and return timeline will be closely monitored in the coming months.
