New York's rookie quarterback is believed to have sprained his MCL, pending confirmation from an MRI, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.
New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart may be sidelined after reportedly spraining the medial collateral ligament in his knee. NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported the initial diagnosis, which still requires an MRI to be confirmed.
Recoveries from an MCL sprain typically take four to six weeks, which could put Dart's return somewhere between Week 6 and Week 8 of the NFL season.
Jameis Winston appears in line to start while Dart recovers. His Monday performance was rough: 11 completions on 27 attempts for 111 yards, no touchdowns and one interception.
Winston is considered a fantasy option only in two-quarterback or superflex formats as a fill-in.
