Giants Back Jaxson Dart After Turnover-Laden Loss as Hamstring Issue Surfaces

The first-year passer is listed with a hamstring injury ahead of Thursday against Philadelphia.

Overview

  • New York fell to 1-4 with a 26-14 defeat at the Saints, committing five turnovers, including three by rookie Jaxson Dart on a fumble and two late interceptions.
  • Head coach Brian Daboll praised Dart’s approach and development, reiterating confidence in him while stopping short of naming a Week 6 starter against the Eagles.
  • Dart appeared on Monday’s estimated injury report as limited with a hamstring issue, with WR Darius Slayton listed as a DNP for a hamstring and RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. limited with a shoulder.
  • Dart accepted responsibility for the mistakes after completing 26 of 40 passes for 202 yards and two touchdowns to tight end Theo Johnson.
  • Troy Aikman described Russell Wilson’s status as a tough spot and suggested the staff’s short-term pressure could influence quarterback decisions.
