EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Jaxson Dart faced a concussion check in Saturday’s Giants preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings. The second-year quarterback initially received the check but cleared it and returned to the game, throwing a touchdown pass to rookie receiver Malachi Fields. However, Dart's frequent visits to the medical tent as a rookie have become a concern.
In his first game action since January, Dart managed to scramble out of the pocket and throw a touchdown pass on the left side, despite taking a significant hit. Despite the positive outcome, the Giants are cautious about Dart's readiness for the upcoming playoff game against the Dallas Cowboys on Sept. 13. Meanwhile, Odell Beckham Jr. made a strong return, cheering for his first snap as a Giant since 2018 and catching his first game pass for a 6-yard gain.
However, Beckham's playing time is still uncertain, with Harbaugh acknowledging that he is fighting for a spot among other receivers.
