Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers left Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers on a cart with an apparent leg injury.<\/p>\n
The injury took place late in the first half. Head coach Brian Daboll told CBS after halftime that he would not return to the game.<\/p>\n

Nabers experienced the injury on a deep pass from rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart down the right sideline and immediately grabbed at his right leg in pain.<\/p>\n
Athletic trainers briefly tended to Nabers on the field before quickly making the decision to call out the cart. Nabers’ teammates converged around him in support before he left the field riding on the back of the cart.<\/p>\n
The nature and severity of Nabers’ injury wasn’t initially clear.<\/p>\n
The injury took place on a free play for the Giants. The Chargers jumped offsides before the snap, and Dart looked to Nabers on the deep ball on third-and-10.<\/p>\n

Nabers jumped to challenge cornerback Cam Hart for the ball. He appeared to sustain the injury while planting his right foot into the turf at MetLife Stadium.<\/p>\n
An injury of any significance is a major blow to the Giants and, of course, Nabers. A first-round selection in the 2024 Draft, Nabers is one of football’s most talented young players and New York’s top weapon on offense.<\/p>\n
