Giants' Jaxson Dart: Set for season-ending surgery
Jaxson Dart is expected to undergo knee surgery that will end his 2026 season but lead to a full recovery heading into 2027, Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of NFL Network report.According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, medical tests on Dart's left knee have revealed that his ACL is intact, but the second-year quarterback sustained damage to his MCL, PCL and meniscus after taking a big hit from two defenders on the New York Giants' seventh play of Monday's 28-6 loss to the Rams. Schefter adds that the meniscus is the primary concern for Dart, who was initially believed to have sustained only an MCL sprain before follow-up tests showed more damage than anticipated. With surgery on tap for Dart, the Giants will move forward with Jameis Winston as their new starting quarterback beginning with this Sunday's game against the Titans.

Giants' Jaxson Dart: May need season-ending surgery
Jaxson Dart is facing the possibility of season-ending surgery after further testing Tuesday revealed that the left knee injury he sustained in Monday's 28-6 loss to the Rams is worse than originally anticipated, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.The New York Giants had previously been optimistic that Dart would avoid an extended absence after initial scans following Monday's game suggested that he sustained an MCL sprain in his knee, but follow-up tests appear to have revealed more significant damage. Dart is likely to seek out additional medical opinions before deciding on a treatment plan for his injury, but if surgery is deemed necessary, he would likely be lost for the remainder of the 2026 campaign. Jameis Winston is poised to direct the Giants offense in Week 3 versus the Titans and could be in line for an extended run as the team's starting quarterback.

Giants' Jaxson Dart: May be dealing with sprained MCL
Jaxson Dart is believed to have suffered a sprained MCL in his left knee during Monday's 28-6 loss to the Rams, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Dart underwent X-rays that were returned negative, and an MRI scheduled for Tuesday should either confirm or negate the initial diagnosis of an MCL sprain. The promising young quarterback logged just one offensive series Monday before getting hurt while throwing a third-down pass. Per Rapoport, Dart is expected to miss "some time," though he will likely be able to return this season if the injury is limited to a sprained MCL and no other ligament damage. In the likely scenario that Dart ends up missing games, Jameis Winston will be lined up to work as New York's starting quarterback.

Giants' Jaxson Dart: Uncertain to return to MNF after knee injury
Jaxson Dart (knee) is officially questionable to return to Monday's matchup against the Rams.Dart was hurt during New York's first offensive series when he was hit by a pair of Rams defenders while throwing a third-down pass that was incomplete. The second-year QB immediately went down to the ground and grabbed his left knee before heading to the medical tent and then to the locker room. Notably, Dart left the field without a cart and under his own power, but his return to Monday's contest is up in the air. Jameis Winston replaced Dart under center for New York's following turn on offense.

Giants' Jaxson Dart: Tosses three TDs in Week 1 win

He also rushed 11 times for 54 yards.Dart delivered a superb performance with both his arm and his legs. He threw touchdown passes of 15 and two yards to Isaiah Likely, as well as a nine-yard touchdown pass to Devin Singletary. Dart also finished second on the team in rushing yards, 27 shy of Cam Skattebo's 81. The mobile QB completed all eight of his pass attempts to Likely and showed promising chemistry with wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee), who suited up after being listed as questionable heading into Sunday night's season opener. Dart and the New York Giants will play in primetime again in Week 2, when they visit the Rams on Monday Night Football.

Giants' Jaxson Dart: Feeling confident in new offense
Jaxson Dart said Tuesday that he feels "so much better" now than he did during the offseason program in new offensive coordinator Matt Nagy's scheme, which has the quarterback playing more under center, Darryl Slater of NJ.com reports.As a rookie in 2025, Dart completed 63.7 percent (216 of 339) of his passes for 2,272 yards, 15 touchdowns and five interceptions while adding 86 carries for 487 yards and nine more TDs. But not many of his snaps occurred under center as then coach Brian Daboll attempted to cater to Dart's style of play. Perhaps the change in schemes will help Dart stay out of harm's way more often after he had five concussion checks last season. In any case, it remains to be seen if he'll have top WR Malik Nabers available Week 1 as he closes in on his recovery from last year's torn ACL.
