The New York Giants' offense looked as bad as everyone expected in their 2025 season opener, highlighting that this defense needs to play at peak efficiency every week to wring a few wins out of this schedule. That task got much harder when it was announced that a locked-in starter will miss a good chunk of time.
Starting inside linebacker Micah McFadden was taken out of their Week 1 loss against the Washington Commanders with a serious lower body injury that remained a bit of a mystery. There has been some clarity after the latest injury update, and it's not good for the Giants' defense.
