Foxworth Blasts Dart's 6th Concussion Check Complaint After Giants QB Took Preseason Hit

3 articles · Updated · NJ.com · Aug 17

Summary

  • Domonique Foxworth said Jaxson Dart was "insane" and "stupid" to resent a blue-tent concussion evaluation after the Giants quarterback was blasted, stayed down and was checked during Saturday's preseason game against Minnesota.
  • 6 evaluations since 2025 help explain the scrutiny: Dart has been sent for concussion checks six times across preseason and regular-season games, though only one became a confirmed concussion.
  • Dart, who was quickly cleared after the Jay Ward sack, said he respects the NFL's health rules but is puzzled that he seems to end up in the tent "every time I get hit."
  • Foxworth argued the concussion spotter made the obvious call, saying a star quarterback with a recent history of head hits should be evaluated immediately—especially in a preseason game.
