Giants QB Jaxson Dart exits MNF game vs. Rams with knee injury - ESPN

Jameis Winston replaced Dart at quarterback. Sources told ESPN that Dart tried to get back into the game in the first half, but the Giants thought better of it and wouldn't let him.

Winston started two games and appeared in three for the Giants in 2025, throwing for 567 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. The 11-year veteran was drafted No. 1 in 2015 and has also played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, New Orleans Saints and Cleveland Browns.
