Giants Rule Out Rookie QB Jaxson Dart for Week 12 Under Concussion Protocol

The team's decision reflects the league's medical process after multiple evaluations this year for a hard‑running rookie quarterback.

Overview

  • Interim coach Mike Kafka said Dart did not clear the required tests and will miss Sunday's game at Detroit.
  • Jameis Winston will start for a second straight week, with Russell Wilson listed as the backup.
  • Dart practiced on a limited, non-contact basis but did not advance through the protocol's phases to be cleared.
  • Reporting points to a possible Week 13 return, with the Giants' Week 14 bye providing additional recovery time if needed.
  • The first-round pick has produced 1,417 passing yards and seven rushing touchdowns in a 2-9 season, as team voices urge adjustments to reduce hits on designed runs.
