Jaxson Dart Injury Update: Meniscus, MCL and PCL Damage, Surgery Expected
New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart's ACL is intact, but his left knee injury includes significant meniscus damage along with MCL and PCL injuries, according to Pro Football Doc.
The meniscus damage is expected to require surgery, making Dart's injury all but season-ending. The positive news is that Pro Football Doc expects a full recovery with no limitations next season.

“The good news is indeed the ACL is intact, no surgery on the ACL,” Pro Football Doc said.
The primary concern is significant meniscus damage that will require surgery. Whether Dart undergoes a meniscus repair or trim remains to be determined, although Pro Football Doc believes the expected recovery timeline points toward a repair.
Pro Football Doc also expects the MCL to be repaired during surgery without adding to the recovery timeline. The PCL damage appears to be mild and is not expected to require surgery.
Is Jaxson Dart Out for the Season?
Pro Football Doc considers Dart's injury all but season-ending, although he acknowledged a small possibility of a late-season return.
“The bad news, this is all but season ending,” Pro Football Doc said.
The long-term outlook is positive, with Pro Football Doc expecting Dart to make a full return with no limitations next season.
