Louisiana Sports Icon Malik Nabers Suffers Season-Ending Injury

(KTDY) - Former Louisiana football player Malik Nabers, who has taken the NFL by storm, suffered a gruesome injury Sunday.

Nabers, a fan favorite in Acadiana, went down for the New York Giants on Sunday as they took on the Los Angeles Chargers.

Right when Nabers went down on the field at MetLife Stadium, he grabbed his knee and was taken off the field via a cart. Immediately, many speculated that Nabers could have torn his ACL.

On Monday morning, it was confirmed that the Acadiana favorite did indeed tear his ACL, and he will be out for the remainder of the 2025-26 NFL season. This comes on the week as the Giants are scheduled to visit New Orleans on Sunday, October 5, 2025.

Malik is a great ambassador for our area, and we all wish him a speedy recovery. We can't wait to see him back on the field in 2026.

Here's the play that took Nabers out of the game and ultimately out of the 2025 NFL season.

In recent years, many current and former NFL players have lobbied for the NFL to remove all artificial turf fields in the league. Many players say that the uptick in knee injuries across the league is a result of unsafe playing surfaces..

Sadly, this is another catastrophic injury suffered by a player while on artificial turf.
