Giants lose Dart for season as NFC East QBs go down

Daniels missed two games with dislocated elbow

Wire Report IntelligenceUpdated 1h1 min read

After Sunday, every team in the NFC East will have played without their starting quarterback — except for Dallas. Giants Via @WerderEdNFL on X

What happened: Jaxson Dart injured his knee in Week 2 and went on injured reserve Sept. 24. Jayden Daniels missed two games with a dislocated elbow before returning to the lineup.

Why it matters: Dallas remains the only NFC East team to use its starting quarterback throughout. The early turnover reshapes depth for the same Giants slated for the Week 1 Sunday night opener entering mid-October of the 2026 regular season.

What to watch: Sunday determines whether Dallas stays the lone NFC East club to avoid a backup start.
