New York Giants star wide receiver Malik Nabers sustained a season-ending torn ACL in Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers, head coach Brian Daboll confirmed Monday.
The Giants placed the second-year wideout on injured reserve.
Nabers was carted off in the second quarter after he went up for a deep pass from Jaxson Dart and immediately grabbed his knee upon hitting the ground. The team was reportedly waiting on Monday's MRI to confirm the initial belief that Nabers had torn his ACL.

Nabers has not only been the focal point of the Giants' offense, but he's also been one of the NFL's most productive receivers since entering the league in 2024. His 205 targets since the beginning of last season lead the league, while his 127 receptions over that span rank fifth among all players and his 1,475 receiving yards are seventh.
Odell Beckham Jr. is the only player who caught more passes (133) over the first 19 games of an NFL career than Nabers (127).
Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton will become the Giants' top wide receivers with Nabers out. Robinson has caught 18 passes for 237 yards this season, while Slayton has 135 yards on nine catches.
The Giants sit at 1-3 after Sunday's triumph over the Chargers.
