Giants QB Jaxson Dart out for extended period, possibly season, with knee injury
Dart's knee injury is more severe than originally believed, sources told NFL Network.
New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart's knee injury is more severe than originally anticipated, and he could miss the remainder of the season, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo, according to ESPN.
The updated assessment of Dart's injury represents a significant setback for the Giants, who will need to adjust their quarterback plans for an extended period as a result.
Impact on the Giants
ESPN's report, citing NFL Network sources, did not specify the exact nature of the knee injury or provide a definitive timeline for Dart's potential return, beyond indicating the possibility that he could be sidelined for the rest of the season.
The Giants have not issued a separate public statement detailing the extent of the injury beyond what has been reported by NFL Network's sources.
The team will need to rely on its other quarterback options while Dart recovers, with further updates on his status expected as the situation develops.
