Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart to undergo season-ending knee surgery, reports say
MRI results showed damage to Dart’s meniscus, MCL and PCL, and Jameis Winston is expected to start while the Giants search for another quarterback.
- On Wednesday, the New York Giants confirmed quarterback Jaxson Dart will miss the remainder of the 2026 season after suffering severe knee damage during Monday night's loss to the Los Angeles Rams.
