New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart may miss the entire season after a knee injury was found to be more severe than initially thought. ESPN reported that further testing on the injury sustained during the Giants' opening loss to the Los Angeles Rams showed the damage was worse than initially believed. Dart was hit high by Byron Young during the game, causing his knee to buckle.
The initial diagnosis was a sprained MCL, according to coach John Harbaugh. However, the new tests suggest the issue might necessitate surgery. This injury marks another setback for Dart, who has faced injuries throughout his career, including a meniscus tear in his right knee, a shoulder injury, and a sprained ankle in recent years.
Despite these setbacks, Dart had a strong rookie season, throwing for 2,272 yards, 15 touchdowns, and five interceptions in 14 games. If surgery is needed, the Giants might be without their starting quarterback for the rest of the season, with Jameis Winston stepping in as the new QB1.
