Giants Bracing for Life Without Jaxson Dart After ‘Likely’ Season-Ending Injury

Multiple reports Tuesday said that New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart is "likely" done for the season due to his knee injury.

The New York Giants face a bleak future without quarterback Jaxson Dart, who is likely to miss the season following a knee injury sustained in their Week 1 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Just one week earlier, the Giants had enjoyed a dominant opening game, shutting out the Los Angeles Rams 28-6 in Week 1. However, Dart's injury, which occurred in the first quarter of that match, has cast doubt on his ability to return to action.

Cam Scattebo, the running back, stated that his teammate expressed a desire to return to the game following his injury, but team doctors advised against it. Dart performed admirably in Week 1, completing 79.3% of his passes for 20 yards and setting career highs in completion percentage and passer rating. In contrast, veteran quarterback Jameis Winston struggled against the Rams' defense, throwing for 111 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception.

Dart has previously missed two games during his rookie year due to a concussion, and his absence from the Giants' lineup last season contributed to their nine-game losing streak.
