Jaxson Dart reportedly out for season, clouding Giants' QB plans
The short version
- Jaxson Dart reportedly out for the season after injuring himself in Week 2 against the Rams
- Dart and Malik Nabers will have played only 68 snaps together in two years if Dart misses the season
- Nabers is recovering from an ACL injury suffered in Week 4 of last season
- Giants face a decision between drafting another QB or sticking with Dart
- New York has finished bottom of the standings the past two seasons
The quarterback's injury reportedly ends his season and leaves New York facing a difficult decision on his future alongside wide receiver Malik Nabers.
New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart reportedly faces a season-ending injury after going down in the team's second game, a loss to the Los Angeles Rams, according to Yahoo Sports.
The injury derails what the Giants hoped would be a productive pairing between Dart, drafted in 2025, and wide receiver Malik Nabers. Per the report, if Dart misses the season, the two will have shared just 68 snaps across two years on the same roster because of injuries to both players.
Nabers is coming back from an ACL injury suffered in Week 4 of last season, and Dart would be recovering from his own ailment, raising questions about whether both can return to their previous form.
With backup Jameis Winston in line to play, the report suggests the Giants could finish near the bottom of the standings again after placing last in each of the past two seasons. New York's most recent Super Bowl win came in 2011.
That sets up a difficult decision for the front office: whether to draft another young quarterback or commit to Dart's return and his partnership with Nabers, with limited on-field evidence to guide the choice.
