The young offensive duo of Jaxson Dart and Malik Nabers had sparked endless hopes for the New York Giants. Unfortunately, Nabers’ severe injury in the game against the Los Angeles Chargers puts this partnership on hold for now. What other passing options does the QB for the rest of the 2025 NFL season?

According to the Giants’ official depth chart on their website, some of the wide receivers Jaxson Dart can rely on are veteran Darius Slayton, Wan’Dale Robinson, and rookie Beaux Collins.

Slayton is arguably the most seasoned and reliable target, while Wan’Dale Robinson brings versatility and speed out of the slot. Meanwhile, rookie Beaux Collins now has a golden opportunity to prove himself at the professional level.

Joining this intriguing group of receivers are Jalin Hyatt and Gunner Olszewski, who may be slightly further down the depth chart when it comes to seeing action on the field. It’s worth noting that both Bryce Ford-Wheaton and Da’Quan Felton are currently unavailable due to injuries.

The Giants’ offense is facing increasing problems. Not only are injuries taking their toll, but it’s also worth noting that the head coach decided to bench Russell Wilson ahead of the game against the Chargers.

What happened to Nabers?

The New York Giants’ 21-18 win over the Chargers came at a massive cost, as star wide receiver Malik Nabers was carted off the field in the second quarter with a right knee injury. Early reports from NFL insiders confirm the worst fears, a torn ACL. The standout player will immediately out the season.

The non-contact nature of the injury and the immediate diagnosis are a devastating turn for the Giants’ offense.

“Giants star WR Malik Nabers does, in fact, have a torn ACL, the MRI at Hospital for Special Surgery confirmed. He’s out for the season,” the insider Ian Rapoport reported via @RapSheet.
