Giants Urge Rookie QB Jaxson Dart To Adjust Running Style After Concussion

His return goal is Week 12 at Detroit following a one-game absence.

Overview

  • ESPN reported the team has told Dart to be more selective as a runner, with quarterbacks coach Shea Tierney using film to differentiate aggression from recklessness.
  • Dart sustained a concussion in the Week 10 loss at Chicago, was ruled out against Green Bay, and is working toward clearance for the Lions game.
  • Since his first start in Week 4, Dart has absorbed 84 combined hits and undergone four concussion evaluations, per ESPN.
  • Local coverage questioned the leak’s emphasis on Dart’s responsibility, citing designed runs and late-game usage as mixed messaging on player protection.
  • The safety push unfolds during leadership turnover, with Brian Daboll fired after a 2-8 start, Mike Kafka named interim head coach, and FOX reporting GM Joe Schoen told Jay Glazer the search will not target a college head coach.
