Jaxson Dart Remains in Concussion Protocol, Giants Optimistic for Week 12 Return

New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart remains in the league's concussion protocol, having missed the Week 11 loss to the Packers. Despite being checked for a concussion four times already this season, the Giants are optimistic he will be able to return in time for next Sunday's Week 12 game against the Detroit Lions. If Dart is unable to play, Jameis Winston, who started in his absence against Green Bay completing 19 of 29 passes for 201 scoreless yards and one interception, would likely make another start. Dart, who signed a four-year, $16.98 million contract in May 2025, has 2025 pass/rush stats of 1417 passing yards, 10 touchdowns, 3 interceptions, 317 rushing yards, and 7 rushing touchdowns.
