Jaxson Dart Questions NFL's Blue Medical Tent Process: 'Every Time that I Get Hit, I Find My Way in There'
Dart was cleared early in the second quarter after a blue tent exam, and he said repeated concussion checks have left him puzzled.
- On Saturday, New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart briefly exited the team's 13-10 preseason loss to the Minnesota Vikings after taking a heavy hit in the first quarter. He was evaluated for a concussion and cleared to return.
- Vikings safety Jay Ward sacked Dart after Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. missed a block assignment. The impact flattened the quarterback, forcing an immediate evaluation in the blue medical tent.
- Giants head coach John Harbaugh said, "My feeling in that moment was we need to block better." Dart later expressed frustration, stating he remains "puzzled" by the frequent concussion checks.
- Returning to the game three plays later, Dart immediately connected with rookie wide receiver Malachi Fields for a 15-yard touchdown pass. The play gave the Giants a 7-3 lead before his night concluded.
- ESPN Monday Night Football commentator Troy Aikman admitted he is "worried about" Dart's aggressive play style, which has resulted in substantial hits. The team prioritized offensive line improvements after five concussion checks last year.
