What we know about Giants injuries, including Jaxson Dart and Andrew Thomas

Jaxson Dart. Andrew Thomas. Malik Nabers. Brian Burns. Losing one to injury is tough enough for Giants. All four? It's a nightmare. So what's next?

The New York Giants face challenges as they prepare for their next game against the Tennessee Titans at MetLife Stadium. Four key players - quarterback Jaxson Dart, outside linebacker Brian Burns, left tackle Andrew Thomas, and wide receiver Malik Nabers - are dealing with injuries suffered during Monday night's 28-6 loss to the Los Angeles Rams.

Jaxson Dart's knee injury is currently thought to be an MCL sprain, but an MRI will provide a definitive diagnosis. If the prognosis remains positive, Dart may return as early as Sunday, with Jameis Winston set to start if he is unavailable.

Andrew Thomas' groin injury is particularly concerning for the Giants' offensive line. In the team's short week, the Giants may rely on rookie J.C. Davis or more likely second-year pro Marcus Mbow to fill in for Thomas at left tackle.

Malik Nabers suffered a shoulder injury during the game, with his shoulder popping out after being tackled by Rams cornerback Trent McDuffie. The receiver will undergo further testing, but there is hope that no further damage has been done.

Finally, Brian Burns suffered a low ankle sprain after rolling his left ankle late in the fourth quarter. While Burns walked back to the locker room with some assistance, he refused medical attention and is expected to play in the upcoming game if the swelling and stiffness subside quickly.
