New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart went down with what appeared to be a left knee injury on the team\u2019s first drive Monday night against the Los Angeles Rams.<\/p>\n
Dart was sandwiched between Rams defenders Byron Young and Josaiah Stewer on a third-and-8 incompletion to Theo Johnson from the Rams\u2019 41-yard line.<\/p>\n
Dart did walk slowly off the field under his own power. Dart has been ruled out. GM Joe Schoen told ESPN that the quarterback is \u201cgoing to be OK.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jameis Winston took over at quarterback for the Giants on their second offensive series.<\/p>\n
Dart protecting himself from big hits and concussions has been a constant story. This, though, was a hit from the pocket after which his left knee appeared to bend in an awkward manner.<\/p>\n
Dart limped slowly to the locker room after being checked in the medical tent.<\/p>\n
John Harbaugh had this to say about Dart\u2019s injury during a brief halftime interview:<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re just focused on the second half, trying to find a way to win the game. We\u2019re not thinking about that right now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dr. David Chao, a former NFL team doctor who goes by @ProFootballDoc on X, offered a quick take on the injury.<\/p>\n

Several starting quarterbacks have already suffered injuries this season. That list includes Sam Darnold of the Seattle Seahawks, Jayden Daniels of the Washington Commanders, and Caleb Williams of the Chicago Bears.<\/p>\n
