Nabers joins a growing list of stars who have been sidelined at MetLife, including Nick Bosa, Jabrill Peppers, Sterling Shepard, Kyle Fuller, and Aaron Rodgers. The injury reignited the debate about turf safety, especially with the stadium set to host the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final on natural grass. While Nabers is sidelined until 2026, the incident has players demanding change and raises the question: will grass finally break MetLife’s curse?
