    New York Giants linebacker Micah McFadden suffered an injury during Saturday's preseason game against the Houston Texans .

    Near the end of the first quarter, McFadden went down with an injury after getting twisted up on a run stop. The third-year linebacker was able to get to his feet, but he was carted off the field.

    He was officially diagnosed with a hip injury , per Dan Salomone of Giants.com.

    McFadden, entering his second season as a starter, recorded 101 tackles (63 solo), 12 tackles for loss, one interception and five passes defensed during the 2023 season.

    He was replaced by rookie Darius Muasau, the team's sixth-round pick from the 2024 NFL Draft.

    Meanwhile, No. 3 linebacker Dyontae Johnson didn't play Saturday due to an ankle injury he suffered in the preseason opener.
