Jaxson Dart injury update: Latest on Giants QB, who received ‘positive news’

By admin — In News — September 22, 2026

   ​UPDATE: ESPN and NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport reported on X that Dart “is believed to have suffered a sprained MCL based on the initial exams.”“X-Rays were negative and the MRI is coming Tuesday,” Rapoport wrote. “Dart is expected to miss some time, though in general, positive news.”###INGLEWOOD, Calif. — The Giants apparently believe quarterback Jaxson Dart avoided a serious knee injury. Or at least that was the word Monday night from general manager Joe Schoen, who told ESPN’s broadcast of the Giants-Rams game that Dart is “going to be OK.” It’s unclear exactly what that means. But you’d think it means Dart didn’t suffer a season-ending torn ACL. That obviously would be far from “OK.” Of course, that would be far from ideal for the Giants, who desperately need Dart to show significant progress in Year 2. The ESPN broadcast showed Dart on the sideline in the third quarter.Entering halftime, Giants coach John Harbaugh dodged a question from ESPN about Dart’s status, saying he was just focused on trying to win the game. Harbaugh knew the Giants faced an uphill battle without Dart. Dart is expected to undergo an MRI on his injured knee. That examination will ultimately tell all about the status of the injury — and how long he could be sidelined. As the second half began, with the Jameis Winston-led Giants trailing 14-3, Dart was unsurprisingly ruled out for the rest of the game. He had previously been listed as questionable to return. Dart got hurt on the game’s first drive after getting crushed from both sides by Rams edge rushers Byron Young and Josaiah Stewart. Dart limped off the field under his own power and then headed to the locker room. It was obvious that his night was over.
