Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart suffers knee injury against Rams, possible MCL issue feared
New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart injured his left knee during the opening series against the Los Angeles Rams on Monday night. The injury has raised concerns about a possible medial collateral ligament (MCL) problem, which could sideline him for some time, while wide receiver Malik Nabers was also assessed for a shoulder injury.
Dart was hit high and low, causing his knee to bend awkwardly, although his leg was not planted, reducing concern about a season-ending ACL tear. He left the field under his own power after treatment and was replaced by Jameis Winston; both Dart and Nabers were officially listed as questionable to return.
- Jaxson Dart suffered a potentially significant left knee injury.
- An MCL issue is feared, but an ACL tear seems less likely.
- Malik Nabers also left with a shoulder injury.
