NFL Network reports Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart is expected to undergo season-ending knee surgery that will sideline him for the remainder of the 2026 season, sources told the network. The decision follows imaging and evaluations that revealed the knee injury sustained in Week 2 is worse than initially thought, according to multiple reports. Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo are among the reporters who have relayed the expected surgery; reporting also ties the development to follow-up medical opinions and confirmation from league insiders. Teams and Dart are pursuing a full recovery timeline, but the immediate consequence is that Dart will not return this season. The Giants will move forward without their young starter while the club evaluates quarterback options for the remainder of 2026.
