With New York Giants fans excited to see Jaxson Dart make his debut start, it appears superstar wide receiver Malik Nabers is dealing with an apparent knee injury. Before entering halftime, Nabers had to be carted off the field.
The 22-year-old wideout suffered the injury after Dart threw him the ball. It appeared Nabers may have hurt his knee while jumping up for the catch. He immediately grabbed his knee after the play, and the cart was eventually brought out to take him to the locker room, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Before suffering the apparent knee injury, Malik Nabers recorded just two receptions for 20 yards. He led the Giants in both categories, as the Chargers have done an excellent job at stopping the passing attack.
New York will conduct further testing in the locker room. For now, it’s too early to know how serious the injury may be. Based on the fact that he was carted off, it is not likely the former first-round pick returns to the game on Sunday.
Malik Nabers was dealing with a shoulder injury leading up to the Chargers game. This was Nabers’ first time having Dart as his starting quarterback. The two are still building chemistry, as the one-time Pro Bowl wide receiver played the Giants’ first three games with Russell Wilson under center. So far this season, Nabers has recorded 18 receptions, 271 yards, and two touchdowns.
The Giants enter halftime with a 13-3 lead over the Chargers. While the team continues to play in the Week 5 matchup, fans will likely be awaiting the official status of Malik Nabers’ knee.
