Malik Nabers quickly back in action for Giants after shoulder scare
The short version
- Malik Nabers left with a shoulder injury and returned on the next drive
- The Giants were awaiting word on quarterback Jaxson Dart's knee injury
- The Rams led 14-0 in the Monday night game
- Trent McDuffie intercepted a Jameis Winston pass near the end zone
The wide receiver rejoined the Monday night matchup against the Rams on the following drive despite appearing to be in considerable pain when hurt.
New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers left Monday night's game against the Los Angeles Rams with a shoulder injury, but his absence was brief. He was back on the field for the team's next offensive drive.
The quick return came as a surprise, as Nabers appeared to be in significant pain when he was hurt. His presence mattered for a Giants offense already dealing with uncertainty at quarterback, where Jaxson Dart's status was in question because of a knee injury.
Los Angeles led 14-0 at the time. Rams cornerback Trent McDuffie added to New York's troubles with an interception in front of the end zone, picking off a badly underthrown pass from quarterback Jameis Winston intended for Nabers.
