New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers was carted off the field in the second quarter of Sunday’s home game against the Los Angeles Chargers with an apparent right knee injury.
Nabers, 22, was injured as he jumped for a downfield pass from rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart with 6:12 remaining in the first half. As the pass fell incomplete, Nabers immediately grabbed for his right knee as he went to the ground.
Nabers had been limited in practice earlier in the week because of a shoulder injury.
Nabers, 22, entered Week 4 leading New York in receptions (16), receiving yards (251) and receiving touchdowns (two). Before departing Sunday, he had two receptions for 20 yards.
Last season, Nabers set an NFL rookie record for receivers with 109 catches, which also was a franchise mark for the Giants.
Nabers totaled 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns in 15 games (13 starts) last season en route to being named to the Pro Bowl.
The Giants selected Nabers with the sixth overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft out of LSU.
