Dart’s Knee Injury Raises Concern After Giants’ Loss

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart left Monday’s 28-6 loss to the Los Angeles Rams with a left-knee injury, and the team was awaiting further evaluation. A report after his Tuesday MRI said the injury was worse than initially thought and that season-ending surgery was possible, but the Giants had not confirmed a diagnosis or treatment decision in the available information. Dart was hurt on New York’s opening series, less than four minutes into the game, when he was hit by Rams defenders while under pressure. He walked to the sideline under his own power, was evaluated in the medical tent and later went to the locker room. Jameis Winston replaced him on the next Giants possession. Dart had completed three of five passes for 20 yards before leaving. Before the MRI, coach John Harbaugh declined to confirm reports of an MCL sprain, saying the injury was “in the neighborhood” and that testing Tuesday would provide a clearer picture. He said he hoped to have more information after the scan.
