A sideline conversation caught on the Monday night broadcast hinted at a recovery window for the rookie quarterback's injured knee.
New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart left Monday night's 28-6 loss to the Los Angeles Rams with a knee injury, and a moment caught on the ESPN broadcast may have revealed how long he will be sidelined.
Cameras showed a member of the Giants organization speaking with head coach John Harbaugh after Dart exited the game. Lip readers interpreting the exchange believe the person said "four to six weeks," though it has not been confirmed whether the remark referred to Dart.
Initial exams indicate Dart sprained his MCL, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, who reported that X-rays came back negative. An MRI was scheduled for Tuesday. Dart is expected to miss some time, but the early outlook was described as positive.
