During Sunday’s matchup between the New York Giants and the Chicago Bears, quarterback Jaxson Dart exited the game to undergo a concussion evaluation. He was seen walking to the locker room with medical staff early in the fourth quarter. It’s worth noting that Jaxson Dart took an exceptionally hard hit in the second quarter of today’s game and was not checked at that point.
At the time of his departure, Dart was in the midst of one of his strongest outings as the Giants’ starter. He had completed 19 of 29 passes for 242 yards, added six rushes for 66 yards, and scored two rushing touchdowns.
Dart’s concussion today is especially notable given what happened in Week 6, when he was evaluated for a potential head injury after a sack prompted him to grab at his helmet on the turf, leading the NFL to review whether the Giants properly followed concussion protocol.
During that evaluation, head coach Brian Daboll briefly looked into the medical tent and rookie running back Cam Skattebo entered as well, actions the league said created the appearance of interference. The NFL ultimately fined the Giants $200,000, Daboll $100,000, and Skattebo $15,000 for violating protocol procedures. While Dart does not have a confirmed prior concussion on record, his recent exposure to repeated head-injury evaluations adds context and scrutiny to how today’s concussion will be managed.
The next game for the Giants will be Week 11 against the Packers on Sunday 16 November at MetLife Stadium. His availability for Week 11 will depend on his progression through the NFL concussion protocol this week.
