Overview
- Interim coach Mike Kafka confirmed Dart will not play Sunday and remains in the league’s concussion protocol.
- Dart practiced on a limited, non-contact basis during Week 12 and was on the fourth step of the five-step return-to-play process.
- He traveled with the team to Detroit, which local reporting framed as a positive sign that he has not suffered a setback.
- A Week 13 return versus the Patriots is possible if he completes the protocol and participates fully in practice, though it is not guaranteed.
- Jameis Winston starts for a second straight game with Russell Wilson as backup; Dart, the No. 25 pick, logged 10 touchdown passes and seven rushing scores in seven starts before the injury.
