NEW YORK — Malik Nabers’ season is over.
An MRI confirmed Monday that the Giants’ top receiver tore the ACL in his right knee during the second quarter of Sunday’s win over the Los Angeles Chargers. ESPN first reported the news.
His loss is a devastating blow for the Giants (1-3) and for rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart, who now must play his first NFL season without the team’s best weapon.
“Malik’s one-of-one,” Dart said after Sunday’s win. “So when you have a guy like that on the field, you have all the confidence in the world that he can just be a dominant game-changer.”
“But I thought from that moment, obviously it’s really hard seeing one of your best friends go down, but we were able to rally,” the quarterback added. “I thought guys made some good plays. But obviously, just prayers to him.”
