Injury Alert for Jaxson Dart

New York Giants fans had a real scare Monday night when Jaxson Dart had to leave the game against the Los Angeles Rams after suffering a knee injury.

The quarterback was hit during the Giants' first offensive possession while attempting to complete a pass on third down. He found himself sandwiched between two Rams defenders, Byron Young and Josaiah Stewart, and his left knee was subjected to a particularly jarring movement.
After the hit, Jaxson Dart remained on the ground for a few moments, clutching his knee. However, he was able to get back up and walk on his own to the sideline before heading to the medical tent.

Jaxson Dart was unable to return to the game

The situation quickly raised concerns among the Giants. Jaxson Dart had started the game and completed three of his five passes for 20 yards before having to leave the field. Jameis Winston then took over at quarterback.
Dart was ultimately ruled out for the remainder of the game. Initial reports indicated an injury to his left knee, and X-rays were performed to determine the exact nature of the injury.
After the game, head coach John Harbaugh said the injury appeared to be “in the vicinity” of a medial collateral ligament (MCL) sprain. An MRI was needed, however, to establish a more precise diagnosis.
According to Reuters, the Giants initially feared a sprain of the left MCL. The X-rays were negative, but the team had to wait for the MRI results before determining the exact severity of the injury. 
The game ultimately ended in a 28-6 victory for the Rams. For the Giants, however, the result took a back seat to Jaxson Dart's situation, as his health has now become one of the main issues to watch ahead of the team's next game.
