Giants' Jaxson Dart Leaves After Hit, Evaluated for Concussion in 24-20 Loss to Bears

His availability for Week 11 at Green Bay depends on clearing the NFL's concussion protocol.

Overview

  • Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart exited in the third quarter after a hard hit on a designed run, and the team said he was being evaluated for a possible concussion.
  • Veteran Russell Wilson finished in relief, going 3-of-7 for 45 yards with two sacks as New York's offense stalled.
  • Before leaving, Dart was 19-of-29 for 241 yards with six rushes for 66 yards and two rushing touchdowns, helping build a 17-7 lead.
  • Chicago outscored New York 17-3 after the injury to secure a 24-20 win, dropping the Giants to 2-8.
  • Coach Brian Daboll voiced concern for Dart's health as analysts faulted playcalling that exposed the rookie to contact, and some urged elevating Jameis Winston over Wilson if Dart is unavailable in Week 11.
