What happened: New York Giants head coach John Harbaugh confirmed quarterback Jaxson Dart will undergo surgery and miss the remainder of the regular season. Harbaugh kept open the possibility of a playoff return should the team qualify.

Why it matters: The procedure officially sidelines New York's starting quarterback for the rest of the regular-season schedule. The absence forces the Giants to navigate the stretch run without their primary signal-caller as they compete for a playoff berth.

What to watch: Dart will begin his recovery process while New York moves forward with its remaining quarterback options.
