New York Giants starting linebacker Micah McFadden will have surgery on his foot and miss "significant time," a source confirmed to ESPN.
McFadden is likely to return at some point this season, the source said.
McFadden was injured Sunday while making a tackle on Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels. His right leg was placed in an air cast, and he was taken off the field on a cart.
He was replaced Sunday by second-year linebacker Darius Muasau, who now will step into a bigger role in McFadden's absence.
