New York Giants Face Key Injuries Playing Chargers at MetLife Stadium

The New York Giants entered their Week 4 game against the Los Angeles Chargers with a 13-10 halftime lead, despite injuries affecting key players like wide receiver Malik Nabers, who was carted off with a knee injury. Nabers had been a significant offensive threat for the Giants this season, leading the team in receptions, yards, and touchdowns, and was expected to play despite recent injury concerns, providing vital support for rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart in his first NFL start. The Giants faced multiple absences, including running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (shoulder), kicker Graham Gano (groin), defensive tackle Rakeem Nunez-Roches (foot), and edge defender Chauncey Golston (ankle), which forced roster adjustments such as promoting players from the practice squad. Left tackle Andrew Thomas, limited in Week 3, was poised to see increased playing time to bolster the offensive line. The Chargers, dealing with pressure on quarterback Justin Herbert and losing left tackle Joe Alt to injury, managed to close the halftime gap with a touchdown just before the break. Overall, the Giants showed resilience despite their injury challenges and the Chargers' defensive strength.
