Jaxson Dart limps off field after taking Rams hit in early Giants scare

INGLEWOOD, CALIF. – Jaxson Dart was grabbing his left knee on the turf less than four minutes into the Giants-Rams game Monday night after he got folded on a hit from both ends by Byron Young and Josiah Stewart.

It looked like Dart and Young banged knees as the Giants quarterback fired downfield and Theo Johnson could not make a leaping catch.

Dart hobbled off the field and into the blue tent – a sight that usually brings out his frustrations for a concussion check – after players from both teams kneeled around him.

The next play was a punt, but Dart was replaced by Jameis Winston to start the next possession.

At the same time that Winston took the field, Dart limped back to the locker room. A cart followed Dart into the tunnel and out of sight of the crowd. 

Dart was officially listed as questionable to return. 

The Giants do not have a backup plan if Winston gets injured because third-stringer Jake Haener is on the practice squad.
