ESPN’s Jordan Raanan reports Jaxson Dart (knee) will undergo surgery on Friday. 2026-09-25 10:00:02 According to Raanan, the belief is that Dart will have surgery to repair his meniscus and MCL. The second-year quarterback is looking at a 4-6 month recovery period after his surgery, which will sideline him for the remainder of the regular season. Head coach John Harbaugh said earlier in the week that Dart could return in the postseason if Jameis Winston pulls off the unthinkable and leads the G-Men to their first playoff berth since 2022. |

NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reports that Giants coach John Harbaugh kept “open the possibility for a postseason return” for QB Jaxson Dart (knee). 2026-09-23 18:00:03 Garafolo notes that a meniscus repair typically requires a 4-6 month recovery timeline. If Dart heals at the fastest possible speed, he could return in late January. This seems somewhat unlikely, given the fact that he will also have his MCL surgically fixed and must rehab the injured PCL, but apparently Harbaugh is feeling optimistic. In the meantime, QB Jameis Winston has been named the starter. |

Jaxson Dart will undergo surgery on his injured knee and miss the remainder of the 2026 season. 2026-09-23 13:00:02 The extent of Dart’s knee injury was not initially understood, but further testing showed a serious injury to his MCL and PCL. He’ll be sidelined for the rest of the season, effectively ending the Giants’ season. Jameis Winston will likely take over as the team’s starter. It’s a letdown for Dart, who started the year hot against the Cowboys. In relief of Dart in Week 2, Winston was 25 percent below his expected completion rate, the worst mark in the league. Look for the Giants to be a run-heavy, hyper-conservative offense going forward with targets concentrated between Isaiah Likely and Malik Nabers. Winston might be usable in superflex formats for now. |

Giants coach John Harbaugh said “evaluations were still ongoing” on Jaxson Dart (knee) and declined to comment on his timeline to return. 2026-09-22 16:00:02 Harbaugh was scooped to his press conference by multiple reporters saying that Dart was likely to miss the remainder of the season, so he probably didn’t have time to change the talking points. It feels like we’re just waiting on this to be official at this point; the Giants will likely name Jameis Winston their starter on Wednesday. |

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Jaxson Dart’s knee injury is “worse than initially thought” and the team is now “facing the possibility of season-ending knee surgery.” 2026-09-22 15:00:02 Obviously we’re looking for a follow up from the team, but this is absolutely brutal news for the Giants. Jameis Winston looked abysmal in his fill-in action against the Rams in Week 2 and, if he played like that going forward, would lower expectations for all Giants skill position players. More importantly for Dart, he’ll miss most of his second season and enter the third year of his rookie contract trying to rehab and prove to the Giants that he’s going to be their quarterback of the future. It’s a rough, rough break for the 23-year-old quarterback. |
