Key Points:
- New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart will undergo knee surgery that ends his 2026 season, though coach John Harbaugh left open the possibility of a postseason return.
- Dart's injury involves damage to his MCL, PCL, and meniscus, with the meniscus being the primary concern; his ACL remains intact.
- Dart was injured on the first drive of Week 2 against the Los Angeles Rams after a hit caused his knee to bend awkwardly, initially thought to be a minor MCL sprain.
- With Dart sidelined, the Giants are expected to start Jameis Winston, who struggled in relief during Monday night’s game, highlighting a significant drop in team performance without Dart.
- The Giants face upcoming games against the Titans, Cardinals, Commanders, Saints, and Texans before their Week 7 bye, navigating the season without their starting quarterback.
