Malik Nabers appeared to suffer a right knee injury on Sunday during the second quarter against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Nabers was contesting a deep pass from Jaxson Dart, making his first NFL start, down the right sideline. Nabers was stopping his sprint down the field and made a play for the ball, but he stayed down and held his right knee.
According to a report from NFL Network, Nabers is “believed to have torn his ACL.” Adam Schefter reported there will be an MRI on Monday morning to confirm the injury.
It was a big blow for a Giants offense that had started promisingly against the undefeated Chargers. The injury took place with 6:12 left in the second quarter, and the second-year receiver had two catches for 20 yards.
Nabers was taken to the locker room, lying down on a cart.

Dart started promisingly with a rushing touchdown on the first drive of his career as a starter. When Nabers left the game, he was 5-of-8 for 51 yards through the air, and he had four carries for 29 yards and a rushing touchdown.
