New York Giants WR Malik Nabers tears ACL on MetLife Stadium’s turf, joining multiple players injured on the field since 2020.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers will miss the rest of the 2025 season after tearing his ACL on MetLife Stadium’s artificial turf, the latest in a series of season-ending lower-body injuries at the venue since 2020. Players, including Odell Beckham Jr. and Aaron Rodgers, have criticized the FieldTurf Core surface, citing higher injury rates and a lack of consistency with grass, which they say is safer and more natural. Despite NFL officials deeming the field safe and owners favoring turf for maintenance, growing player pressure is pushing for a return to natural grass, especially as the stadium prepares for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
