The short version
- Jaxson Dart left Monday night's game vs. the Rams with a knee injury
- Tuesday's MRI showed the injury was worse than initially anticipated
- Initial belief was a sprained MCL with a recovery timeline of a few weeks
- Per Ian Rapoport, Dart could miss the rest of the 2026 season
An MRI showed the Giants quarterback's knee injury is more serious than first believed and could keep him out for the remainder of the 2026 season.
New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart could miss the remainder of the 2026 NFL season after an MRI revealed his knee injury is more serious than the team initially expected, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Dart was hurt early in Monday night's game against the Los Angeles Rams. Early indications pointed to a sprained MCL that might sideline him for only a few weeks, but Tuesday's imaging changed that outlook. Rapoport, citing sources, reported Dart will be out for an extended period and possibly the full season.
The exact severity of the damage has not been disclosed. The news is a setback for the Giants, who now face uncertainty at quarterback going forward in the 2026 campaign.
