Overview
- Dart was sent to the blue tent early in the fourth quarter after a first-and-goal hit against Washington, was replaced for two snaps by Jameis Winston, then was cleared and returned.
- ESPN reports it was his fifth in-game concussion evaluation in roughly 10 outings dating to the preseason, and he previously missed two games with a diagnosed concussion against Chicago.
- Interim coach Mike Kafka said an official requested Sunday’s evaluation and emphasized the Giants are not planning to significantly alter their offensive approach.
- Kafka called Dart’s mobility a core strength and said the play that triggered the check was a pass look the quarterback tried to salvage, underscoring the challenge of limiting contact without curbing his playmaking.
- Reporters and analysts urged small adjustments—such as popping up more quickly after hits and sliding—to reduce triggers for spotters and protect the team’s long-term investment without stripping Dart’s dual-threat value.
