Sept. 29 (UPI) — Malik Nabers, Lamar Jackson and Joe Alt were among the NFL players injured in Week 4 of the 2025 NFL season. Those hurt will be evaluated throughout the week.
New York Giants coach Brian Daboll confirmed Monday that Nabers sustained a torn ACL in his right knee during the second quarter of a win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday in East Rutherford, N.J. He was placed on injured reserve and will miss the remainder of the 2025 campaign.
Nabers logged 271 yards and two scores on 18 catches through his four appearances this season. Jalin Hyatt, Gunner Olszewski and Beaux Collins are the backup wide receivers listed behind Nabers, Darius Slayton and Wan’Dale Robinson on the Giants’ depth chart.

The Chargers lost star left tackle Joe Alt to a right ankle injury just 10 snaps into their Week 4 setback. Coach Jim Harbaugh told reporters that he was unsure of the severity of the injury. A source told NFL Network that Alt is believed to have sustained a high-ankle sprain, which could result in a multiple-week absence.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson sustained a hamstring injury during a 37-20 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Ravens offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley (ankle), cornerback Nate Wiggins (calf) and linebacker Roquan Smith (hamstring) also left that game early.
Ravens coach John Harbaugh said none of those injuries appear to be of the season-ending variety. He did not say if Jackson will be available in Week 5.
