The New York Giants’ worst fears have been confirmed. Star wide receiver Malik Nabers will miss the remainder of the season after tests revealed he tore his ACL, league sources told The Athletic’s Dianna Russini on Monday.
Nabers got hurt during the second quarter of Sunday’s 21-18 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. He started to leap for a deep pass from quarterback Jaxson Dart, but he couldn’t complete the jump as something went wrong. Nabers appeared to grab his leg mid-catch, and he was down on the field for a long time before a cart came out to take him off the field.

It’s a huge loss for the Giants’ offense, as Nabers has been the No. 1 target since he arrived in New York last year as the No. 6 selection out of LSU. He entered Sunday with 16 catches for 251 yards (fourth among NFL receivers).
“Unfortunately, this is a business of injury, and I feel terrible for Malik’s injury,” coach Brian Daboll said Sunday postgame. “He’s an important piece of our team, but … it’s the next man up.”
For the Giants, next man up is Darius Slayton, who has stepped into the Giants’ WR1 role before, when Nabers missed two games with a concussion last season. With Slayton bumping up a spot, 2023 third-rounder Jalin Hyatt now has the opportunity to see more action, as he should replace Slayton as the team’s other outside receiver. The Giants also have the undrafted rookie Beaux Collins to turn to, but he’s played just 12 percent of the team’s offensive snaps so far this season.

PFF Grades and Data: Key insights for the Week 15 NFL games
No player has made defenders miss more consistently than Bijan Robinson: Robinson's 80 forced missed tackles lead the NFL by a wide margin — 13 more than any other player. He has forced at least five missed tackles in five straight games, giving him 10 such performances on the season. The next closest player, Jahmyr Gibbs, has eight. Will the Ravens finally find an answer for Ja’Marr Chase? Over Chase's last three games against Baltimore (2024–25), he has averaged nine catches, 189 yards and two touchdowns. Across 10 career matchups — including the postseason — he has posted 74 catches for 1,156 yards and nine touchdowns, all career highs against any opponent.

Fantasy Football: Running back report entering Week 15
