Jaxson Dart injury: Everything we know as Giants’ QB leaves game vs. Rams

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart suffered a left knee injury during the first drive of Monday night’s game against the Los Angeles Rams, forcing him to leave the field. The injury is believed to be a sprained MCL, as indicated by head coach John Harbaugh, although the final assessment will come after an MRI on Tuesday. Dart was tackled by Rams defenders Byron Young and Josaiah Stewer on a third-and-8 play.

Despite wanting to return to the game, he was ruled out by General Manager Joe Schoen, who expressed confidence in Dart's well-being. The quarterback's limp as he walked to the locker room indicated the severity of the injury. John Harbaugh, during a halftime interview, emphasized that the team's focus was on the second half and winning the game, with no concerns about Dart's injury at that point.

Dr. David Chao, a former NFL team doctor, shared that the MRI results would clarify the extent of the injury, suggesting it is unlikely to be season-ending and more likely to involve weeks of recovery rather than months.
