Giants Rely on Winston as Dart’s Knee Injury Is Assessed

The New York Giants are relying on Jameis Winston at quarterback while they assess Jaxson Dart’s knee injury, which has been reported as potentially serious enough to end his season. The team had not officially ruled Dart out for the year or announced a definitive prognosis in the reports available Wednesday, September 23. Dart was injured during the Giants’ 28-6 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Monday. NFL Network reporters Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo reported that an MRI showed the injury was worse than anticipated and could sideline Dart for the remainder of the season. The Giants were still evaluating the injury, according to one report, and no final decision about surgery or the length of his absence was confirmed. Winston replaced Dart against the Rams and completed 11 of 27 passes with one interception. Reports gave different totals for his passing yards, listing either 111 or 127, so the yardage remains unclear. He is the only healthy quarterback reported to be on the Giants’ 53-player roster.
