New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart faces surgery that will likely put an end to his 2026 season following a serious MCL, PCL and meniscus injury suffered during Monday night's loss to the Los Angeles Rams, according to reports from NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Mike Garafolo and ESPN's Adam Schefter. The 23-year-old was hurt on the opening play of the Giants' 28-6 defeat, and while initial reports suggested a sprained MCL, the MRI scheduled for Tuesday confirmed a more severe situation.
Head coach John Harbaugh expressed relief that a "devastating outcome" had been avoided, but declined to provide a definitive recovery timeline. Dart, who started the season strongly with a Week 1 win over Dallas, was substituted after taking a significant hit from Byron Young and Josaiah Stewart on the seventh play of Monday's game.
The Giants managed only points from field goals under backup Jameis Winston, who also intercepted a pass. Dart joins a list of quarterbacks sidelined early in the season, including Caleb Williams (Chicago Bears) with a hamstring issue and Jayden Daniels (Washington Commanders) with a dislocated elbow.
