Overview
- The rookie quarterback was briefly removed late against the Commanders for a concussion evaluation after a goal-line run and then returned to finish the series.
- Jaxson Dart said he felt no pain or discomfort on the play and was unsure why he had to leave the game.
- Jameis Winston replaced him for two snaps that netted minus-2 yards before Dart returned, and the drive ended on downs inside Washington’s five-yard line.
- Dart said there is added “sensitivity” around him taking hits, noting he doesn’t see other quarterbacks pulled as frequently.
- ESPN’s Jordan Raanan has reported five in-game concussion evaluations across Dart’s 10 starts, and interim coach Mike Kafka said he will dial back designed QB runs without changing the overall approach.
