Giants' Jaxson Dart left 'puzzled' after getting taken to blue tent for medical check following crushing hit

Former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom discusses the backlash faced by New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart for introducing President Donald Trump at a rally on ‘The Sunday Briefing.’

It’s no secret there is pressure on New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart to slide more when he’s using his legs on the field after taking significant hits during his rookie season last year.

But some things are out of Dart’s control – like on Saturday when a Minnesota Vikings defender barreled through the Giants’ offensive line untouched and rocked him in the first quarter of their preseason game.

Dart was sent to the blue medical tent to get checked out before returning to the game. It was a familiar spot as it seemed as though he was guided over to the sideline multiple times during the 2025 season. However, he told reporters he was "puzzled" by this particular occurrence.

"As far as the blue tent, I really respect the rules and the thought behind the NFL has of keeping players healthy and reviewing things, but at the same time, I’m still puzzled by it just feeling like every time that I get hit, I find my way in there," he said. "Which at times, I still try to wrap my head around, but that’s all that I’m going to say about that situation.

"I’m really happy with how the drive ended."
