Summary
Jaxson Dart left for a concussion evaluation after a first-quarter sack in Saturday's preseason opener against Minnesota, then quickly returned and threw a touchdown to rookie receiver Malachi Fields on his final snap.
John Harbaugh said Dart told him he merely had the wind knocked out of him, and the coach's immediate takeaway was that the Giants "need to block better."
Harbaugh said he was surprised Dart was sent to the tent but added officials should err on the side of player safety.
The scare revived concern over Dart's five medical-tent visits during his rookie season, a pattern the Giants will want to avoid as preseason continues.
