Giant Loss Confirmed: Nabers Out for Season as Eagles Game Looms
EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ—The New York Giants’ already uphill battle against the Philadelphia Eagles tonight just got steeper. The organization has officially confirmed the devastating news that star wide receiver Malik Nabers will not play against the Eagles—or for the remainder of the season—after suffering a torn ACL two weeks ago.
Head Coach Brian Daboll reiterated the significant loss this week, stating, “That’s obviously a tough loss for our football team,” as the Giants attempt to regroup with an injury-depleted offense. Nabers, the second-year sensation who set franchise records in 2024, leaves a massive void in the passing game.
The gravity of this news is compounded by the fact that the Giants are now down two top receivers for their divisional clash. Starting wideout Darius Slayton has also been ruled out with a hamstring injury, forcing rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart to rely heavily on players like Wan’Dale Robinson and tight end Theo Johnson.
Nabers’ absence strips the Giants of their primary vertical threat and playmaker—a role desperately needed against the reigning Super Bowl champions. With Dart struggling with turnovers last week, the lack of Nabers’ separation and ability to bail out his young quarterback will place intense pressure on the Giants’ supporting cast to produce on Thursday Night Football.
