00:00Odell Beckham Jr. begs NFL to do something about MetLife Stadium turf after Malik Neighbors' ACL tear.

00:07While the New York Giants got their first win of the season on Sunday, it came at a massive cost,

00:12as star wide receiver Malik Neighbors suffered a torn ACL.

00:16Neighbors will be undergoing an MRI on Monday to confirm the extent of the injury.

00:21With an ACL tear, Malik Neighbors will be out for the remainder of the season

00:25and will be aiming to have himself ready for the start of the 2026 season next September.

00:30Before the injury, Neighbors had 18 catches for 271 yards and two touchdowns on the season.

00:37Former New York Giants Pro Bowl wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.,

00:41who has suffered two torn ACLs during his career,

00:44begged the NFL to make a change to MetLife Stadium's playing surface.

00:48In his tweet, OBJ referred to MetLife Stadium as Death Life,

00:52a reference to the number of Achilles tears that have happened there in recent years.

00:56Dear at NFL, I mean this with the utmost love and respect.

01:00We, the NFL, take all the precautions in the world with everything else when it comes to players' health and safety.

01:06Please, please, please get rid of the turf.

01:09Thank you in advance, Beckham tweeted on Sunday night after Neighbors' injury.

01:13Respect and you know I love the Giants,

01:16but Death Life has taken too many talented players away from the game.

01:19I know it's not all the turf's fault,

01:22but at least maybe it's to where we've gotten all the research done

01:26to if turf has to stay, it's at the highest of quality possible.

01:30At least, can we start the discussion?

01:32Since 2010, Nick Bosa, Solomon Thomas, Jabril Peppers,

01:37Wandale Robinson, Sterling Shepard, Kyle Fuller, Aaron Rodgers, and Neighbors

01:42have torn their ACLs while playing at MetLife.

01:45What makes MetLife Stadium's infamously snake-bitten turf even more frustrating

01:50is the fact that it was just swapped out for natural grass earlier this summer

01:54for the 2025 Club World Cup

01:57and will likely be replaced with grass again next summer for the 2026 World Cup.
