Giants QB Jaxson Dart Avoids Medical Tent After 22-Yard Hit in 34-17 Cowboys Opener

1 articles · Updated · Fox News · Sep 14

Summary

  • Jaxson Dart stayed out of the blue medical tent after DeMarvion Overshown blasted him out of bounds on a 22-yard first-quarter run in the Giants' 34-17 season-opening win over Dallas.
  • Officials flagged Overshown for unnecessary roughness, adding 15 yards after the run, and the late sideline hit sparked a brief shoving match between Giants and Cowboys players.
  • The no-tent decision stood out because Dart had complained after an Aug. 9 preseason evaluation that he seemed to be sent for checks every time he was hit, even when he felt fine.
  • Dart's concussion history has drawn extra scrutiny: he underwent five evaluations in his 2025 rookie season, was diagnosed with one concussion and missed two games.
