Overview

  • The NFL and NFLPA confirmed a joint review into how the concussion protocol was applied when Jaxson Dart was evaluated during the Giants’ win over the Eagles.
  • Broadcast video showed head coach Brian Daboll approaching the blue medical tent and engaging in a heated exchange with head physician Dr. Scott A. Rodeo, despite rules limiting the tent to essential medical personnel.
  • Dart was evaluated, missed two plays, was not diagnosed with a concussion on the sideline, and returned to finish the 34-17 victory with 195 passing yards and two total touchdowns.
  • Daboll apologized publicly, saying he was wrong and that his intent was to understand the timing of the evaluation as he weighed a fourth-down decision.
  • Giants president John Mara called the appearance of approaching the tent inappropriate and said the team will cooperate with the review, which could lead to discipline; rookie RB Cam Skattebo was also seen trying to peer into the tent.
