Overview
- Interim coach Mike Kafka said the rookie quarterback is trending toward playing Sunday in Detroit if there are no setbacks.
- Dart participated in a non-contact practice Wednesday, marking Phase 4 progress after limited on-field work late last week.
- Final approval depends on completing the NFL’s five-step protocol and being cleared by the independent neurological consultant assigned to the team.
- If cleared to start, Jameis Winston will serve as the backup with Russell Wilson designated as the emergency third quarterback.
- Dart suffered the concussion in Week 10 against the Bears, missed Week 11, and enters Week 12 with 1,417 passing yards, a 10-3 TD-INT line, and 317 rushing yards with seven rushing TDs as voices inside and outside the team urge a more cautious running style.
