New York Giants starting linebacker Micah McFadden was carted off the field and ruled out with a leg/foot injury suffered in the first quarter of Sunday's season opener against the Washington Commanders.
McFadden was injured while making a tackle on Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels. His right leg was placed in an air cast, and he was taken off the field on a cart. He waved to the crowd as he exited to a gracious applause.
McFadden was replaced by second-year linebacker Darius Muasau. The Commanders immediately took advantage, finding tight end Zach Ertz matched against Muasau for a touchdown on the very next play.
