Overview
- Rookie QB Jaxson Dart was evaluated in the blue tent during the third quarter against the Eagles, cleared, and returned after missing two plays, with a next-day follow-up exam required by rule.
- Head coach Brian Daboll approached the tent and later confronted team physician Dr. Scott Rodeo on the sideline; he apologized, saying he sought timing information for a fourth-down decision.
- Rookie running back Cam Skattebo briefly went into the tent, which conflicts with rules that limit entry to the player, the team physician, an independent specialist, and potentially a team athletic trainer, per NFL CMO Dr. Allen Sills.
- The NFL and NFLPA launched a joint review under the collective bargaining agreement, and potential penalties for confirmed violations include fines that reports cite could reach $150,000 for a first offense.
- Giants owner John Mara said he believes Daboll did not try to influence the process but addressed protocol adherence with him, and the club says it will cooperate with the review.
