Giants' Jaxson Dart: Efficient return to lineup on MNF
Jaxson Dart (concussion) completed 17 of 24 pass attempts for 139 yards and a touchdown while gaining 20 rushing yards on four attempts in Monday's 33-15 loss to New England.Dart returned from a two-game absence after clearing the league's concussion protocol in order to reclaim his starting gig ahead of Monday's primetime tilt. The rookie signal-caller was understandably conservative from the pocket -- after already being checked for a possible concussion four times since the preseason -- finishing with the second-lowest passing yardage total through eight starts. The Ole Miss product also recorded his lowest carry total while failing to extend his rushing touchdown streak to six games. Dart has been a fantasy revelation in his first year as a pro, generating 1,893 yards from scrimmage with 18 touchdowns to five turnovers heading into the New York Giants' Week 14 bye. The dual-threat quarterback will look to build confidence in a favorable home matchup against the Commanders when play resumes on Sunday, Dec. 14.

Giants' Jaxson Dart: Confirmed as starter for Week 13
Interim head coach Mike Kafka confirmed Friday that Jaxson Dart (concussion) will start Monday's game at New England, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.The New York Giants announced Thursday on their first Week 13 injury report that Dart cleared the protocol for head injuries, setting him up for his first game action since a Week 10 loss in Chicago. In seven starts to begin his career, the rookie first-round pick has tossed multiple TDs on three occasions and also rushed for at least one TD in six of those outings. On Monday, Dart will be taking on a Patriots defense that has allowed the ninth-most passing scores (20) to opposing QBs in 12 contests this season.

Giants' Jaxson Dart: Full practice, still in protocol
New York Giants interim coach Mike Kafka said Jaxson Dart will practice in full Wednesday but is still officially in the NFL's concussion protocol, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.Dart has missed two consecutive games while progressing through the concussion protocol, and though beginning his preparation for Week 13 as a full participant is a good sign that he'll gain clearance in time to play Monday versus the Patriots, Kafka declined Wednesday to commit to the rookie signal-caller's availability, per Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News. Top backup Jameis Winston and Dart will split first-team reps at practice Wednesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports. Dart will need to gain full clearance from the concussion protocol, including from an independent neurologist, in order to be eligible to play Monday.

Giants' Jaxson Dart: Still limited Thursday
Jaxson Dart (concussion) remained a limited non-contact participant at Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the New York Giants' official site reports.Interim head coach Mike Kafka told Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News earlier Thursday that there was a chance Dart would gain clearance from the concussion protocol after the Giants' second Week 12 practice, but that didn't come to pass. Instead, Dart maintained his activity level from Wednesday, giving him just one more chance this week to get back to full. In the end, he'll need to be cleared by an independent neurologist in order to play Sunday at Detroit, but if Dart is unable to, Jameis Winston is the next QB up on the depth chart.

Giants' Jaxson Dart: Officially limited in return to practice
Jaxson Dart (concussion) officially was limited at Wednesday's practice, Dan Salomone of the New York Giants' official site reports.Dart didn't practice last Wednesday through Friday after he sustained a concussion during a Week 10 loss at Chicago, missing this past Sunday's defeat to the Packers in the process. He remains in the protocol for head injuries this week, but his return to drills Wednesday as a listed non-contact participant has him trending in the right direction. According to Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com, Dart was the first Giants quarterback to take reps Wednesday, so the team seemingly is preparing as if the rookie will start Sunday in Detroit, assuming he gains clearance from an independent neurologist before then.

Giants' Jaxson Dart: Taking first QB reps Wednesday
Jaxson Dart (concussion) was the first quarterback up during Wednesday's practice, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.The New York Giants are holding a non-contact session to begin Week 12 prep, but Dart's ability to handle the initial QB reps is a good sign that he's trending toward a return to action Sunday at Detroit. He'll need to clear the concussion protocol, including meeting with an independent neurologist, in order to do so, but it appears he'll miss only one game as a result of the head injury he suffered during a Week 10 loss in Chicago.

Giants' Jaxson Dart: Expected to practice Wednesday
Jaxson Dart (concussion) is in line to participate in Wednesday's practice, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.Dart didn't practice in any capacity en route to being ruled out for the New York Giants' loss to the Packers in Week 11, so it will represent a notable step in the right direction if he's able to handle even limited reps Wednesday. Of course, to be eligible for a return to action Sunday versus the Lions, the rookie first-round pick would need to gain full clearance from the concussion protocol, including from an independent neurologist. Jameis Winston will be in line to draw another start in the event that Dart isn't cleared in time to suit up Week 12.

Giants' Jaxson Dart: Remains in concussion protocol
Jaxson Dart remains in the league's concussion protocol, but the New York Giants are optimistic he'll be able to return in time for next Sunday's game against the Lions, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.Dart missed the Week 11 loss to the Packers and has been checked for a concussion four times already this season, but it sounds like there's a chance the rookie quarterback will be back under center for Week 12 in Detroit. In Dart's absence against Green Bay, Jameis Winston made the start and completed 19 of 29 pass attempts for 201 scoreless yards and one interception. If Dart is unable to play against the Lions, Winston likely would make another start.
