New York Giants<\/a> starting linebacker Micah McFadden<\/a> will have foot surgery and will miss “significant time,” a source confirmed to ESPN.<\/p>\n

McFadden is likely to return at some point this season, the source said.<\/p>\n

McFadden was injured Sunday while making a tackle on Washington Commanders<\/a> quarterback Jayden Daniels<\/a>. His right leg was placed in an air cast, and he was taken off the field on a cart.<\/p>\n

He was replaced Sunday by second-year linebacker Darius Muasau<\/a>, who will step into a bigger role in McFadden’s absence.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, the Commanders immediately took advantage when Muasau replaced McFadden as Daniels found tight end Zach Ertz<\/a> matched against Muasau for a touchdown on the next play.<\/p>\n

The Giants originally selected McFadden in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL draft. He became a full-time starter in 2023.<\/p>\n

McFadden had started 14 games each of the previous two seasons. He racked up over 100 tackles each of those years, including a career-high 107 last season.<\/p>\n

His rookie contract is set to expire at the end of the season.<\/p>\n

The news that McFadden would miss significant time with his injury was first reported by NFL Network.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jordan RaananSep 9, 2025, 05:41 PM ET CloseJordan Raanan covers the New York Giants for ESPN and can…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":146246,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-146245","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/146245","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=146245"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/146245\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/146246"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=146245"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=146245"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=146245"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
