Giants Quarterback Jaxson Dart Out for Season With Knee Injury
Dart will undergo surgery for MCL, PCL, and meniscus damage, ending his season after just one game and one drive.
New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart is scheduled for season-ending surgery on his left knee due to significant damage, according to ESPN. The injury includes tears to the MCL, PCL, and meniscus, a more severe outcome than initially believed.
Dart sustained the injury during the Giants' game against the Los Angeles Rams on Monday, September 21, 2026. He was able to walk off the field under his own power but required further evaluation. While his ACL remains intact, the extent of the other ligament and cartilage damage will necessitate surgery, concluding his season after only one game and one drive.
Following Dart's departure from the game, Jameis Winston took over as quarterback for the Giants. Winston's performance was difficult, and he will now assume the starting role for the remainder of the season.
The Giants lost the game to the Rams with a final score of 28-6.
