Jaxson Dart Leaves Monday Night With Knee Injury; MRI Expected to Clarify Time Out

The team awaits MRI results to set a recovery timeline for Dart.

Overview

  • Dart exited the Giants’ opening drive on Monday night after taking hits to his left knee and was ruled out for the rest of the 28-6 loss at SoFi Stadium.
  • Coach John Harbaugh said the injury felt like it was 'in the neighborhood' of an MCL sprain and the Giants scheduled MRI imaging to determine the exact damage.
  • NFL reporter Ian Rapoport has reported a sprained MCL and said Dart is expected to miss some time, though the team has not issued an official timeline.
  • Backup Jameis Winston replaced Dart and finished 11-of-27 for 111 yards with one interception as the Rams, led by Matthew Stafford’s four touchdown passes, pulled away.
  • The injury came with other key Giants hurt in the game — Malik Nabers briefly dislocated and reset his shoulder, Brian Burns left with an ankle sprain, and Andrew Thomas suffered a lower-body issue — raising short-term depth concerns for the Week 3 home game versus Tennessee.
