Bleacher Report • • sports
Key Points:
- The New York Giants lost 28-6 to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 2, with quarterback Jaxson Dart suffering a knee injury and wide receiver Malik Nabers sustaining a shoulder injury during the game.
- Malik Nabers returned to the game after popping his shoulder back into place but will undergo X-rays to assess the damage; he finished with one catch for one yard, a significant drop from his strong Week 1 performance.
- Nabers, who missed most of last season due to a torn ACL, is a key player for the Giants, having been a Pro Bowler as a rookie in 2024 with impressive stats.
- Jaxson Dart is believed to have a sprained MCL and is expected to miss time despite negative X-rays; the team will get an MRI to confirm the extent of the injury.
- With Dart likely sidelined, the Giants will rely on Jameis Winston as quarterback, and the availability of Nabers will impact the team's passing options ahead of their Week 3 game against the Tennessee Titans.
