Giants’ Jaxson Dart to Miss Bears Game Due to Concussion
New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart will miss the upcoming game against the Bears due to a concussion sustained during a recent match. This injury occurred on a designed run in the third quarter when Dart was tackled hard, prompting immediate medical evaluation.
Game Highlights
Dart’s performance up until his injury was impressive. He completed 19 out of 29 passes for a total of 242 yards. Additionally, he rushed for 66 yards on six carries, scoring two touchdowns. This achievement marks a significant milestone in his career.
Notable Achievements
- Dart became the first quarterback in NFL history to achieve a rushing touchdown in five consecutive games.
Injury Details
The injury happened with less than six minutes remaining in the third quarter, specifically at the 5:05 mark. Dart was hit by C.J. Gardner-Johnson, a defensive back for the Bears, during the run, which also resulted in a fumble.
Quarterback Situation
After Dart exited the game, Russell Wilson replaced him at the start of the fourth quarter. Wilson had initially begun the season as the starting quarterback for the Giants. However, following an 0-3 start, Dart was named the starter to bring a fresh perspective to the team’s strategy.
The Giants will now have to adjust their game plan as they prepare for the next match without their rookie quarterback. The team hopes Dart will recover quickly and return to the field soon.
