What are the New York Giants talking about ahead of their Week 12 matchup at Ford Field against the Detroit Lions Sunday afternoon? Both teams are coming off a loss Week 11 and looking to get back on track.<\/p>\n
1. Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart returned to practice Wednesday after missing last week’s loss to Green Bay with a concussion. Dart remains in protocol, but interim head coach Mike Kafka said Wednesday he believes there’s enough time in the week to get Dart cleared for Sunday’s game in Detroit. New York doesn’t want to compromise Dart’s fearlessness as a runner, but they must find the balance to keep their quarterback healthy.<\/p>\n
“I think that’s the fine line,” interim head coach Mike Kafka told giants.com this week. “Jaxson, going through the whole draft process with him and understanding what kind of player he is, he’s an aggressive player. That’s what we love about him.<\/p>\n
“But obviously you want to show him some examples he can learn from. He’s going through that now. I think he’ll continue to grow from those things. You don’t want to put a player like that in a box. Obviously, you want to give him the examples he can improve on, and I think he’ll take that to the bank.”<\/p>\n
Dart has rushed for 317 yards with a 5.6-yard average and has seven rushing touchdowns on the season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What are the New York Giants talking about ahead of their Week 12 matchup at Ford Field against…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":45556,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[26026,26025,9,11,10,26024],"class_list":["post-45555","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-aidan-hutchinson","tag-homepage-centerpiece-package","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news","tag-news-twentyman"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45555","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45555"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45555\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/45556"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45555"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=45555"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=45555"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
