Giants QB Jaxson Dart faces likely season‑ending knee injury

sportsSep 22, 2026261,355

Jaxson Dart suffered a left knee injury Monday night against the Los Angeles Rams that proved more serious than initially believed, sources told NFL Network's Mike Garafolo and Ian Rapoport after an MRI showed more extensive damage than a first diagnosis of an MCL sprain. The MRI findings have the New York Giants bracing for an extended absence and the possibility that Dart could miss the rest of the season or require surgery. Giants coach John Harbaugh said evaluations are ongoing and no final decisions have been made. Dart will not play when the New Orleans Saints visit in Week 6, so veteran Jameis Winston, who signed a two-year extension earlier in September, is expected to start. The injury also delays the much-discussed Dart versus Tyler Shough rookie comparison; Shough and Dart have not yet faced each other in a regular-season game. Team personnel are seeking additional medical opinions to determine next steps and timing for any procedure or roster moves.

In the offseason, Giants Quarterback Jaxson Dart came out as a Trump loving fascist. At the time, I predicted he would get hit so hard he would quickly be injured. In his second game he got injured. Now he’s out for the season. Karma is a bitch.

Everything Trump touches dies! And if you choose to reach out and touch Trump, just like Dart did, that counts too! Karma is a b****.

Unless Dart is a complete woke libtard, all they need to do is shoot some ivermectin into his ass and Dart should be able to get right back out on the field.

Giants QB Jaxson Dart is getting additional medical opinions on his injured knee that will determine whether to have surgery, which in turn will determine whether he can return this season or not. For now, he’s out indefinitely, as ESPN reported. Jameis Winston takes over as QB1.

Good… get him outta NY

The New York Times

@nytimes.com

From @theathletic.com: The Jaxson Dart injury update was far worse than expected. After initial reports suggested Dart could miss as little as a couple of weeks, the New York Giants are now bracing for the possibility that the quarterback could miss the entire season.

As a Ravens fan I'm well adept at translating Harbaugh. This means Dart is dead.

Harbaugh must have his notifications turned off today.

I guess he can now spend more time with his friend, Donald Trump. 🙄 #ETTD

Remember when the Harbaugh brothers went to the WH and praised trump? Remember when Jaxson Dart went on stage to praise trump? Yeah, the trump curse is real ya’ll. Karma doesn’t play and looks like neither will Dart. 👀

The sentence "Well, my starting quarterback WAS Jaxson Dart, but he may be done for the season and the top-rated QB on the waiver wire is Deshaun Watson" may be the thing that permanently kills fantasy football for me.

Jaxson Dart, Cam Skattebo & Malik Nabers have only played 5.5 quarters of football together.

Genuinely what have we as Giants fans done to deserve this? 😭

Season over in week 2. Love this for the Giants.

Saw some "Jaxson Dart didn't even get hurt outside the pocket discourse" and while that's true, it also ignores that one reason for him not to play like a moron is that it is also possible to get hurt inside the pocket.
