The New York Giants' offense was dealt a devastating blow last week after wide receiver Malik Nabers suffered an injury against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Nabers suffered a significant injury in the contest after it appeared he got his foot caught in the turf while going up for a catch. The injury has re-ignited the turf vs. grass debate that has raged on for years now.
Making Nabers' injury more devastating is the fact that the Giants recently turned to rookie quarterback Jaxon Dart, who will now be without his best target.
Will we see Nabers again this season? Here's what we know.
Will Malik Nabers play again this season?
No, Nabers will not take the field again in 2025.
Last Monday, head coach Brian Daboll confirmed that Nabers suffered a torn ACL, which is a season-ending injury.
"We'll have a tremendous amount of support for him and his family," Daboll said. "That's obviously a tough loss for our football team, but we'll regroup, and we'll get the guys ready to play that are here and be as good as we can be. On the perimeter, I know those guys will do everything they can do to be as good as we can be. But certainly, when you lose one of your better players, that's a big loss."
With Nabers sidelined for the remainder of 2025, the Giants will be looking for wide receivers Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton to step up.
Tight end Theo Johnson is another pass-catcher who could ascend with Nabers out.
As for Nabers, there is hope he'll be ready for the start of the 2026 season, but he'll have to avoid setbacks. The Giants are also going to take their time with the young wideout considering how important he is to the future of the offense and Dart.
