New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart went down with what appeared to be a left knee injury on the team’s first drive Monday night against the Los Angeles Rams.
Dart was sandwiched between Rams defenders Byron Young and Josaiah Stewer on a third-and-8 incompletion to Theo Johnson from the Rams’ 41-yard line.
Dart did walk slowly off the field under his own power. Dart has been listed as questionable to return.
Jameis Winston took over at quarterback for the Giants on their second offensive series.
Dart protecting himself from big hits and concussions has been a constant story. This, though, was a hit from the pocket after which his left knee appeared to bend in an awkward manner.
Dart limped slowly to the locker room after being checked in the medical tent.
Several starting quarterbacks have already suffered injuries this season. That list includes Sam Darnold of the Seattle Seahawks, Jayden Daniels of the Washington Commanders, and Caleb Williams of the Chicago Bears.
We will have more on Dart’s injury when it becomes available.
