Jaxson Dart to have MRI Tuesday

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart is set to undergo an MRI on Tuesday, September 22, following an injury he sustained during the team's Week 2 game against the Los Angeles Rams. The quarterback is believed to have suffered a sprained medial collateral ligament based on initial assessments, although X-rays did not reveal any damage.

ESPN's Jordan Raanan reported that Dart remained on the sideline throughout the game, and even after the examination, he expressed a desire to return to the field. However, Giants quarterback Jameis Winston took over for Dart in the first quarter, leading the team to a 28-6 loss. Winston completed 11 of 27 passes for 111 yards, without any touchdowns or interceptions, and was sacked during the game.

The Giants have been cautious in their handling of the situation, taking the most prudent approach until they receive a definitive report from the MRI. This development is significant as it indicates that Dart's injury may not be severe, but further information will become available once the MRI results are in. The Giants' performance has notably suffered since Dart's injury, as they struggled following their dominant display in Week 1 under his leadership.
