Giants QB Jaxson Dart is expected to undergo knee surgery and miss the entire 2026 season. He solicited multiple opinions and surgery should allow his MCL and meniscus to make a full recovery. It was noted that Dart’s ACL was intact and not injured. QB Jameis Winston will start for the Giants for the foreseeable future.
Giants QB Jaxson Dart's knee injury is worse than initially thought, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "He’s out an extended period of time, possibly the season," Rapoport adds.
Giants QB Jaxson Dart is believed to have sprained his left MCL in Monday night's loss to the Rams, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Dart is scheduled for additional testing on Tuesday to get a better look at the damage. He reportedly wanted to re-enter the Rams game, though, and remained on the sidelines for the second half. It looks like Dart dodged a long-term injury here, although he could still end up missing multiple weeks. We should get a timeline for his return within the next 24 hours. QB Jameis Winston struggled in relief of Dart on Monday night, completing just 11 of 27 passes for 111 yards, 0 TDs, and 1 INT. But he's proven capable of sustaining, and even lifting, passing games in the past.
We don't have a diagnosis on Giants QB Jaxson Dart's knee injury, but we've gotten some optimistic signs. GM Joe Schoen told ESPN's Laura Rutledge that Dart is "going to be OK," and ESPN's Jordan Raanan reports that Dart wanted to return to tonight's game. That was never happening, of course. But the Giants did allow Dart to spend the second half on the sidelines. It at least seems like he avoided a season-ending injury, but we should get a better idea of his status over the next 24 hours.
Giants QB Jaxson Dart appeared to injure his left leg on the first possession of tonight's game against the Rams. Dart got sandwiched between a pair of defenders and took a shot to the outside of the knee. He limped off the field under his own power but went to the blue tent and then the locker room. Jameis Winston entered for the ensuing drive. ESPN's Laura Rutledge reported that Dart went to the locker room rather than the X-ray room.
Jaxson Dart impressed in the first game of his second season, scoring 26.6 fantasy points and tying his career-high passing touchdowns with three. He completed 23 of his 29 pass attempts for 230 yards, totaling 21.2 passing fantasy points. Dart also produced 5.4 rushing fantasy points without scoring a TD, showing the high rushing floor he was expected to provide.
Giants QB Jaxson Dart's mobility fueled big rushing production last year, but it also led to plenty of bumps and bruises. It doesn't sound like New York's new coaching staff plans to rein in the rushing, though. HC John Harbaugh said on The Dominique Foxworth Show that Dart's dual-threat ability will allow the Giants offense to do “a lot of the stuff that we did in Baltimore with Lamar [Jackson]."
The Giants are hiring Matt Nagy as their OC, according to multiple reports. Todd Monken was reportedly HC John Harbaugh's top choice for the job. But, like Harbaugh, Nagy has strong ties to Andy Reid. Nagy started his coaching career under Reid in Philadelphia and spent the past four seasons with Reid in Kansas City, serving as OC for the last three.
The Giants are finalizing a deal to hire John Harbaugh as their new HC. It's a five-year deal that will make Harbaugh one of the league's highest-paid coaches, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Harbaugh is coming off an 18-year run with the Ravens, winning 61.4% of his regular season games and Super Bowl 47. It's a strong hire for New York. But Harbaugh worked his way up through the ranks as a special teams coach. That makes the rest of his offensive staff key to figuring out what this Giants attack will look like going forward. The Athletic's Dianna Russini reports that former Ravens OC Todd Monken is expected to join Harbaugh in New York, although it's unclear if he'll hold the same title. We'll keep you updated on how this Giants staff comes together -- and what it means for QB Jaxson Dart, WR Malik Nabers, and the rest of the offense.
Giants WR Wan'Dale Robinson (rib) and TE Theo Johnson (illness) are out for Sunday's game vs. the Cowboys. That leaves New York without its top two targets. Darius Slayton and Isaiah Hodgins will lead the WR room, with Daniel Bellinger handling lead TE duties. The matchup against Dallas makes those guys more intriguing fantasy options. QB Jaxson Dart's Week 18 outlook takes a hit sans Robinson and Johnson.
The Giants have ruled TE Theo Johnson out for tomorrow's game against the Raiders because of an illness.
