New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers leaves the Week 2 Monday Night Football game against the Los Angeles Rams in the first half with an apparent shoulder injury, then later returns to the field. Multiple reports describe Nabers coming up clutching his shoulder in pain after failing to secure a contested catch on an incomplete pass late in the first quarter.
The outlets agree on the general timeline—he exits early in the first quarter and subsequently returns during the matchup. Coverage varies on wording and emphasis, with some noting the exact moment of the injury (a failed contested grab on an incomplete pass) and others framing it as an injury scare. Several articles also place the incident within a broader injury picture for the Giants, describing a challenging, injury-riddled night. One report additionally mentions other players being hurt in the same game, including Jaxson Dart, though details beyond Nabers’ shoulder are not consistent across sources.
Overall, the reports portray Nabers’ injury as a shoulder/arm issue that prompts him to leave briefly before he comes back to play.
