The second-year star landed awkwardly on a deep pass attempt in the second quarter, immediately clutching his right knee before being helped off. <\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">With an ACL Tear Malik Nabers is Out for the Season<\/h2><p>The injury occurred at MetLife Stadium with just over six minutes remaining in the first half. Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart, making his first NFL start, had taken a shot downfield after the Chargers jumped offside. Nabers&rsquo; knee appeared to give out as he went up for the ball, leaving him in visible agony. In a striking show of solidarity, nearly the entire Giants sideline rushed over to surround their top playmaker as the medical cart rolled onto the field.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">MRI confirms torn ACL for Giants WR Malik Nabers.

NFL Network&rsquo;s Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero later echoed that early concern, reporting that Nabers is <em> <\/em>to have torn his ACL. However, it is now confirmed that Nabers is now out for the season with an ACL tear, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/NFL\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'><strong>NFL <\/strong><\/a>. The loss could derail the Giants&rsquo; offensive rhythm. Nabers has emerged as their most dynamic weapon, posting 18 catches for 271 yards and two touchdowns in just four games. All in all, without him, the Giants&rsquo; passing attack may struggle to generate the same explosiveness.<\/p><blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DPMcf38kZ-k\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
