Overview
- Dart practiced in full Wednesday after a hamstring check and in-game concussion screening, and he is expected to play Sunday in New Orleans.
- In his first NFL start, he completed 13 of 20 passes for 111 yards and a touchdown and ran for 54 yards and another score in a 21-18 win over the Chargers.
- ESPN tracked 17 hits on Dart in that game as he took five sacks, and he said quicker progressions and better ball timing should reduce the punishment.
- Dart met with the Saints multiple times before the draft, but New Orleans chose LT Kelvin Banks Jr. at No. 9 and later selected QB Tyler Shough at No. 40.
- The Giants traded up to take Dart at No. 25 and are drilling communication for the loud Superdome environment, with kickoff set for 1 p.m. ET Sunday.
