Giants Fear Jaxson Dart MCL Injury After 1st-Quarter Knee Hit

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Sep 22

Summary

  • Jaxson Dart injured his left knee on the Giants' opening series against the Rams and was escorted to the locker room after limping off under his own power.
  • A high-low hit bent Dart's forward leg awkwardly, and an NFL source said the injury could be an MCL issue rather than a season-ending ACL tear.
  • Jameis Winston replaced the second-year starter, who was officially listed as questionable to return but was considered unlikely to re-enter.
  • Malik Nabers also left briefly clutching his right shoulder, then returned, as New York's early-season momentum stalled around Dart's status.
