Giants QB Jaxson Dart is expected to have season-ending knee surgery, report
says
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) --- New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart is
expected to have season-ending surgery on his left knee after tests revealed
damage to multiple ligaments and his meniscus, according to a report from NFL
Network, which cited anonymous sources.
Dart was injured on the first drive Monday night against the Los Angeles Rams
when his left leg bent awkwardly as he was hit by two defenders. After
initially saying it was in the neighborhood of a medial collateral ligament
injury, coach John Harbaugh said Tuesday the evaluation process for Dart was
still ongoing.
An MRI revealed MCL and posterior cruciate ligament damage, NFL Network
reported. Harbaugh is scheduled to address reporters after practice later
Wednesday.
Losing the 23-year-old face of the franchise to a long-term injury would be a
significant blow in Harbaugh's first season in charge, which began with a
victory against Dallas at home in Week 1. Jameis Winston takes over the
starting role beginning Sunday against Tennessee.
The Giants' next five opponents have a combined 2-8 record. Winston is 3-9 in
12 NFL starts since 2024.
