Giants QB Jaxson Dart faces potentially season-ending knee injury

Published 22 September 2026

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart suffered a knee injury during Monday Night Football against the Los Angeles Rams and was ruled out, and further testing on Tuesday indicated the injury is worse than initially anticipated and could be season-ending, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported. Dart went down on the opening drive after being hit by two Rams defenders while airborne on a third-down throw, and his knee buckled. He walked off under his own power and attempted to reenter the game, but the coaching staff declined, according to reports. The Giants lost the game 28-6. The severity of the injury remains disputed. Schefter reported Tuesday that Dart faces the possibility of season-ending knee surgery. According to Ian Rapoport, it is believed Dart suffered a sprained MCL. The team has not announced an official diagnosis, and MRI results were expected Tuesday. Jameis Winston replaced Dart and completed 40.7 percent of his passes for 111 yards with one interception and two sacks. The offense stalled after Dart's exit, and speculation quickly turned to whether New York should pursue a quarterback trade or free-agent signing. Names floated include Spencer Rattler, J.J.
