Odell Beckham Jr. Begs NFL To Do Something About MetLife Stadium Turf After Malik Nabers’ ACL Tear

While the New York Giants got their first win of the season on Sunday, it came at a massive cost as star wide receiver Malik Nabers suffered a torn ACL. Nabers will be undergoing an MRI on Monday to confirm the extent of the injury.

With an ACL tear, Malik Nabers will be out for the reason of the season and will be aiming to have himself ready for the start of the 2026 season next September. Prior to the injury, Nabers had 18 catches for 271 yards and two touchdowns on the season.

Former New York Giants Pro Bowl wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. — who has suffered two torn ACLs during his career — begged the NFL do make a change to MetLife Stadium’s playing surface.

In his tweet, OBJ referred to MetLife Stadium as “DeathLife,” a reference to the amount of Achilles tears that have happened there in recent years.

“Respect and u kno I loveeeee the giants , but DeathLife has taken too many talented players away from the game. I kno it’s not ALL the turfs fault but at least maybe it to where we’ve gotten all research done to if TURF has to stay it’s at the HIGHEST of quality possible. At least can we start the discussion.”

Since 2010, Nick Bosa, Solomon Thomas, Jabrill Peppers, Wan’Dale Robinson, Sterling Shepard, Kyle Fuller, Aaron Rodgers and Nabers have torn their ACLs while playing at MetLife.

What makes MetLife Stadium’s infamously snakebitten turf even more frustrating is the fact that it was just swapped out for natural grass earlier this summer for the 2025 Club World Cup, and will likely be replaced with grass again next summer for the 2026 World Cup.

Looks nice … #SaferFields https://t.co/Vugv4teNxI
