What happened: New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart will miss the rest of the 2026 season and undergo knee surgery. He sustained damage to his MCL, PCL and meniscus during a Week 2 loss to the Los Angeles Rams following hits from Byron Young and Josaiah Stewart.

Why it matters: The injury ends the sophomore campaign of the 2025 first-round pick just seven plays into his second start. Backup Jameis Winston, who struggled in relief on Monday, is positioned to lead the offense moving forward.

What to watch: The Giants must decide whether to proceed with Winston or explore external options over the next 16 weeks.
