Giants QB Jaxson Dart to undergo knee surgery, out for rest of regular season
Head coach John Harbaugh left open the possibility Dart could return if New York makes the playoffs.
New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart will have surgery on his knee and is expected to miss the remainder of the regular season, the team said.
Head coach John Harbaugh did not rule out the possibility that Dart could return later in the year if the Giants were to qualify for the playoffs, suggesting the recovery timeline could allow for a potential postseason role depending on how the season unfolds.
The injury is a significant setback for a Giants team relying on Dart at quarterback. The team will need to turn to other options at the position while Dart recovers from the procedure.
Roster implications
Losing a starting quarterback for an extended stretch typically forces significant adjustments to a team’s offensive game plan and depth chart. How the Giants manage the position in Dart’s absence will be a key storyline as the season continues.
No further details on the timing of the surgery or a specific recovery timeline were disclosed.
