Jaxson Dart Set for Second Giants Start Against Saints After Full Practice

He says the Saints passing on him in the draft left him with a chip on his shoulder.

Overview

  • The rookie practiced fully despite hamstring soreness, with tape and a compression sleeve observed, and he is expected to play Sunday in New Orleans.
  • Dart led a 21-18 win over the Chargers in his debut, throwing one touchdown and rushing for another while taking five sacks and undergoing a concussion check.
  • New York will be without top receiver Malik Nabers for the season after a torn ACL suffered in Week 4.
  • The Giants traded up to select Dart at No. 25, while the Saints chose Kelvin Banks Jr. at No. 9 and later took quarterback Tyler Shough at No. 40.
  • The Saints are 0-4 with Spencer Rattler starting at quarterback, and coach Kellen Moore said Chase Young (calf) and Cesar Ruiz (ankle) will not play Sunday.
