Week 4 NFL Injury Updates: Malik Nabers Faces ACL Tear and Lamar Jackson Deals with Hamstring Problem
NFL Week 4 Highlights: Injuries, Surprises, and A Doubleheader to Remember
Monday Night Football Set for Thrilling Showdowns
The excitement of NFL Week 4 is not over yet, with a thrilling “Monday Night Football” doubleheader. Fans eagerly anticipate the New York Jets facing off against the Miami Dolphins, and the Cincinnati Bengals squaring up with the Denver Broncos. These games promise to be a significant test for all teams involved.
Giants’ Jaxson Dart Makes First Career Start
A highlight of Sunday’s games was rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart’s first career start for the New York Giants. Dart took the reins as the starting quarterback in the Week 4 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. This move sent veteran Russell Wilson to the bench, marking a significant shift in strategy.
Setback for Giants with Malik Nabers’ Injury
The celebrations surrounding Dart’s debut were cut short by an unfortunate injury. Star wide receiver Malik Nabers was carted off during the game due to a knee injury. Following an MRI, it was confirmed that Nabers sustained a torn ACL, sidelining him for the rest of the season.
Ravens Face Injury Woes with Lamar Jackson
The Baltimore Ravens are dealing with a growing list of injuries, most notably to two-time MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson, who suffered a hamstring injury during the third quarter of Sunday’s game against the Chiefs. Backup quarterback Cooper Rush stepped in, completing 9-of-13 passes for 52 yards, highlighted by Justice Hill’s impressive 71-yard rushing touchdown in the final moments.
Defensive Injuries Plague Ravens
The Ravens’ defense is also heavily impacted by injuries, with significant setbacks for:
- Justin Madubuike (neck)
- Kyle Van Noy (hamstring)
- Roquan Smith (hamstring)
- Marlon Humphrey (calf)
- Nate Wiggins (elbow)
Jackson’s potential extended absence further complicates the Ravens’ challenging 1-3 start.
Coaching Challenges and Potential Moves
The hot seat for NFL coaches is becoming increasingly uncomfortable, notably for Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan and Miami Dolphins’ Mike McDaniel. Callahan’s team has started the season 0-4 with rookie quarterback Cam Ward. Meanwhile, McDaniel aims to steer the Dolphins away from a similar fate in their clash against the Bengals on Monday night.
