Giants’ season stalled by injuries in 28-6 loss to Rams
New York quarterback Jaxson Dart left with a left knee injury, while receiver Malik Nabers sustained a shoulder problem in the defeat.
The New York Giants’ strong start to the season was checked by a 28-6 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, with injuries to quarterback Jaxson Dart and receiver Malik Nabers adding to the setback.
Dart was hit while throwing during the Giants’ second drive and left the field clutching his left knee. Jameis Winston took over at quarterback, but the supplied material does not confirm whether Dart returned.
Giants general manager Joe Schoen reportedly told ESPN sideline reporter Laura Rutledge that Dart “is going to be OK”. The comment was non-specific and does not establish a diagnosis, recovery timeline or future availability.
Nabers also sustained a shoulder injury. He was able to continue playing, although the injury appeared to limit him during the game.
The Giants had opened the season with a win over the Dallas Cowboys, with Dart reportedly performing strongly and Nabers returning from an ACL injury. The team has reached the playoffs once in the past nine seasons, but the status of both players remains unconfirmed after the loss, according to reporting from Yahoo Sports and The Sporting News.
