The New York Giants’ season is in tatters with Malik Nabers believed to have torn his ACL.After going 0-3 to open the campaign, the G-Men threw in rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart against the Los Angeles Chargers.GettyNabers suffered every player’s worst nightmare[/caption]His reign got off to a strong start with a rushing score, but disaster struck when superstar wideout Nabers went down clutching his knee after his right leg got caught in the turf.NFL insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero are reporting that the team fears a torn ACL, which would rule him out for the season.Chargers tackle Joe Alt was carted to the locker room after going down earlier in the game, although Rapoport claims his injury is not as serious, with a high-ankle sprain the initial diagnosis.Fans are furious that the $10 billion Giants, owned by the Mara and Tisch families, have done nothing to address the infamous turf at MetLife Stadium, which has been blamed for a long line of serious injuries.“We NEED the ownership to change the MetLife turf,” wrote one fan on X. “Many players have gotten injured and now Malik Nabers and Joe Alt are the latest victim to the horrendous turf. We can’t let players keep getting hurt from this.”“How many ACLs & Achilles must MetLife take before we change the turf,” added another. “Lost Victor Cruz, Sterling Shepard, OBJ, Saquon, and now possibly Malik Nabers.”ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith was left reeling by the news.“Nooooooo @MalikNabersMVP1,” he posted on X. “Please no! I’m praying this right-knee injury we’ve just seen the @Giants all-world receiver is not as serious as it looks. But it’s looking bad.#Damn!!!!”Over the summer, a grass field was installed at MetLife Stadium for testing ahead of the World Cup in 2026.GettyThe wideout is feared to have played his last down in 2025[/caption]NFL players want grass fieldsThe NFLPA says grass fields should be standard.Executive Director Lloyd Howell suggested that 92 percent of players preferred a natural surface over turf.“It’s really basic,” Howell said last year. “It’s not rocket science. Ninety-two percent of our union wants grass. That’s compelling. “The bottom line is, it’s unquestionable that our union wants to have a working condition where they play on grass.”The Giants suffered another blow later in the game as Dart headed for the medical tent to be evaluated for a concussion, but he was able to return.Michael Strahan, who made the Hall of Fame for his performances in new York, thinks Dart has a tough job ahead of him to revive the ailing organization.“When you look at other guys who’ve had challenges in New York and they go to other places and they’re playing well, you start to wonder, is it the players or is it the system?” he said on Fox Sports Kickoff.NFL's Greatest......Ranking the top 10......Quarterbacks of all-time – Can anyone better Tom Brady?Wide receivers of all-time – Does Randy Moss or Jerry Rice come out on top?Running backs of all-time – Stacking Jim Brown, Barry Sanders, Walter Payton, Emmitt Smith and moreTight ends of all-time – How does Travis Kelce compare?“What is it? Something’s gotta give. You keep on mixing up the ingredients, but maybe you’ve just got a bad dish.”Former Giant Daniel Jones has helped the Indianapolis Colts race to a 3-0 start, and the 28-year-old is being backed to win Comeback Player of the Year.“I’m kind of torn,” Strahan added.“I know how tough it is to play in New York. I know all the pressures of New York. We’re going to throw this young quarterback in there, and everyone is thinking, ‘Here comes Jaxson Dart, he had a great preseason and he’s going to turn us around. He’s going to be the savior.’“It’s not that easy because football’s such a difficult sport. You have so many guys around you that you’ve got to depend on. “You need to protect up front. Guys have got to get open in their routes. There’s so much.”Stay up to date with the latest from the NFL across all platforms – follow our dedicated talkSPORT USA Facebook page and subscribe to our talkSPORT USA YouTube channel for news, exclusive interviews and more.
