EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Two of the NFL's young stars were injured Thursday night when Giants receiver Malik Nabers sustained a concussion and Cowboys edge rusher Micah Parsons an ankle injury.
“It was a banger today,” Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs said after Dallas' 20-15 victory. "A lot of guys got banged up. It shows the fight and the resilience we have.”
Nabers, the No. 6 overall pick in the draft, was hurt with 3:30 to play when he fell hard near the New York bench while attempting to tiptoe the sideline and catch a fourth-down pass from Daniel Jones. He appeared to have to ball momentarily but lost it with Trevon Diggs draped all over him.
“It looked like he did from my view on it,” Jones said when asked if he felt Nabers initially made the catch. “I mean, he played a heck of a game again and he showed up for us big time, so we’ll keep trusting him with it.”
