Report: Jaxson Dart wanted to return to the game despite knee injury

Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart left Monday night’s game early with a knee injury, and he didn’t return.

It apparently wasn’t his choice.

Via Jordan Raanan of ESPN, Dart wanted to return to the game. Obviously, the Giants wouldn’t allow it.

Laura Rutledge of ESPN has added that the Giants eventually took Dart’s uniform, preventing a return. She also said his limp is “very minor.”

The specific diagnosis remains to be seen. Lip readers have spotted an interaction between coach John Harbaugh and a staffer during which Harbaugh possibly is being told Dart will be out 4-6 weeks.

That timeframe could point to an MCL injury. Obviously, however, no one knows for now. And the official diagnosis presumably is coming on Tuesday, after Dart gets an MRI.
