Jaxson Dart's Knee Injury Evaluation Ongoing; Season Status Uncertain

<p>The New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart's potential absence for the remainder of the season is still under consideration, according to a source who spoke to Outkick on Tuesday. Medical evaluations are ongoing regarding Dart's left knee injury sustained during the game against the Los Angeles Rams on Monday night.</p><p>Dart, along with his medical team and the Giants, will determine the next steps for addressing the knee injury. The source did not specify the reasons for Dart's potential season-ending status, but it could become likely if he requires surgery for a detached MCL ligament, which typically has a recovery timeline of four to five months.</p><p>Giants coach John Harbaugh did not provide a definitive update during his press conference on Tuesday. "I'm not sure exactly what news or anything's been stated, but right now, evaluations are ongoing," Harbaugh said. "We haven't got any final decisions yet. We've learned a lot more."</p><p>Harbaugh will meet with Dart after he receives a second opinion on the MRI he underwent on Tuesday. A decision on the next steps will be made in consultation with medical experts and Dart.</p><p>Harbaugh stated, "So, I don't want to get out over our skis on that." OutKick reported on Monday night that Dart had suffered a sprained MCL and would miss some time. When asked about the reports of an MCL sprain, Harbaugh indicated that the reports were in the correct "neighborhood."</p><p>ESPN also reported that general manager Joe Schoen told sideline reporter Laura Ruthledge that Dart "will be OK," which may still hold true, although it could take some time.</p><p>What is confirmed is that Dart will not be playing in the upcoming game against the Tennessee Titans. Jameis Winston will take over as the Giants' starting quarterback, and the team is likely to promote Jake Haener from the practice squad to serve as a backup, with the possibility of adding Brandon Allen.</p><p>The situation is challenging for the Giants, as they have faced significant injuries to key players in recent years, including Dart, receiver Malik Nabers, running back Cam Skattebo, left tackle Andrew Thomas, and running back Saquon Barkley.</p>
