Giants Quarterback Jaxson Dart Faces Potential Season-Ending Surgery
Further testing reveals a more significant knee injury for Dart, potentially sidelining him for the remainder of the season.
New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart is facing the possibility of season-ending surgery after his knee injury sustained during Monday night's loss to the Los Angeles Rams was found to be more significant than initially believed. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the updated prognosis.
Dart was injured in the first quarter of the game after a hit from Rams defenders Byron Young and Josiah Stewart. He was seen clutching his knee in apparent pain and did not return to the game. Following further medical evaluations, the severity of the injury has become clear, potentially ending his season.
In Dart's absence, backup quarterback Jameis Winston struggled to move the offense effectively. Winston completed 11 of 27 passes for 111 yards and threw an interception. The Giants will need a significantly improved performance from Winston and the offense as they navigate Dart's potential extended absence.
