EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — New York Giants star wide receiver Malik Nabers was carted off the field after trying to catch a deep ball down the right sideline in the first half Sunday afternoon against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Nabers immediately reached for his right leg as he went to the ground. Several Giants teammates came onto the field to check on Nabers, who was in intense pain. Several players reacted as if they knew it was a serious injury.
The Pro Bowl receiver appeared demoralized as he left the field. He eventually waved to the fans as he was taken off the field on a cart.
Nabers had two catches for 20 yards before leaving the contest.
The Chargers jumped offside on the play where Nabers was injured. So rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart took a deep shot down the right sideline to his top receiver. Nabers leaped in the air and was unable to get the ball. He landed hard on his right side on the play.
It’s a major loss for the Giants. Nabers caught a franchise-record 109 passes for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns last season as a rookie. He had 16 catches for 251 yards and two touchdowns through three games this year.
