Giants’ Jaxson Dart Ruled Out With Concussion as Bears Rally to Win 24-20

The rookie’s exit after a third‑quarter hit turns the focus to concussion protocol, leaving Week 11 in doubt.

Overview

  • Dart left for a blue-tent evaluation between quarters and was ruled out in the fourth, with Russell Wilson taking over at quarterback.
  • Before exiting, Dart went 19-of-29 for 242 yards and ran for 66 yards with two touchdowns, becoming the first NFL QB to rush for a TD in five straight games.
  • The Giants led 20-10 in the fourth quarter, but Chicago scored two late touchdowns — a Rome Odunze catch and a 17-yard Caleb Williams run — to complete the comeback.
  • Dart was hit and fumbled on a designed run late in the third quarter, a sequence cited by multiple outlets as the likely play that triggered the concussion evaluation.
  • This marked Dart’s fourth concussion evaluation of the year, and reporting indicates his status for next week is uncertain as the 2-8 Giants assess options under Wilson.
