After Debut Win, GiantsJaxson Dart Expected to Practice as NabersACL Ends Season

After five sacks and multiple hits in his first start, Brian Daboll says the rookie is expected to practice Wednesday.

Overview

  • Brian Daboll benched Russell Wilson after an 0-3 start, and rookie Jaxson Dart led a 21-18 upset of the Chargers with 13-of-20 passing for 111 yards, one passing TD, 54 rushing yards and a rushing score without a turnover.
  • New York retooled the offense for Dart with designed quarterback runs and a quicker passing rhythm; TruMedia logged seven designed QB rushes and 65% of throws released within 2.5 seconds with a 6.3-yard average depth of target.
  • The Giants’ defense delivered two pivotal takeaways as Dexter Lawrence II and Dru Phillips intercepted Justin Herbert and returned the picks deep to set up scoring chances.
  • Malik Nabers sustained a torn ACL and will miss the season, and Dart was evaluated for a concussion and managed a hamstring tweak but is, per Daboll, on track to practice Wednesday.
  • Fanatics reported Dart’s No. 6 jersey was the NFL’s top seller on Sunday across its network following his first start.
