Overview
- The team officially declared the rookie quarterback out for Sunday, naming Jameis Winston the starter with Russell Wilson as the backup.
- Dart stretched on the practice field Friday and Kafka said he is on track in the NFL protocol, keeping a Week 12 trip to Detroit in play if he clears.
- He sustained the head injury after a fumble in Chicago, returned for two snaps, then was pulled by the Giants for testing after independent spotters initially missed it.
- Scrutiny of the process follows earlier league fines for a Week 6 protocol violation involving team personnel entering the blue tent during a Dart evaluation.
- New York’s final report also ruled out Darius Slayton, Kayvon Thibodeaux and Evan Neal, listed Tyler Nubin and Rakeem Nunez-Roches as doubtful, and marked Paulson Adebo and Bobby Okereke as questionable.
