Giants Eyeing Reunion With Former Titans QB After Jaxson Dart Injury News
With Jaxson Dart's injury looking worse than expected, the Giants are reportedly eyeing a reunion with a former Titans QB.
The New York Giants are quickly moving to reunite with former Titans quarterback Brandon Allen after their star rookie, Jaxson Dart, suffered a severe knee injury during Monday Night Football. Initially, the injury was thought to be minor, possibly an MCL strain, but new reports suggest it could be a serious ACL or meniscus tear, potentially ending his season.
The Giants, already riding high following a season-opening victory over their rivals Cowboys, are actively exploring their options. NFL insider Mike Garafolo reported on Tuesday that the team is considering signing Allen, a veteran who went 26 of 38 for 224 yards and zero touchdowns with two interceptions in three preseason games.
Allen's past as a backup in the NFL and his strong connection with Giants quarterbacks coach Brian Callahan, who was fired as Titans head coach mid-season, could make him an appealing choice. Despite not being the most high-profile option, familiarity could be an advantage. If Dart's injury proves to be season-ending, the Giants may also look to bolster their roster through free agency or a potential trade.
