"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. On Sunday, the Commanders immediately took advantage when Muasau replaced McFadden as Daniels found tight end Zach Ertz matched against Muasau for a touchdown on the next play. The Giants originally selected McFadden in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL draft. He became a full-time starter in 2023."
