Giants QB Jaxson Dart suffers concussion in loss to Bears - ESPN

CHICAGO — New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart suffered a concussion in the second half of Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Chicago Bears.

Dart took a hard hit on a fumble in the third quarter, getting hit from the side as he ran by a defensive lineman tracking back to make the play. His head hit the ground and he got up slowly, eventually walking to the sideline after remaining on the field for a few seconds on his knees.

Dart returned to the game the following drive for two plays and then went to the blue medical tent in between quarters. He walked slowly into the locker room afterward with a trainer.

The first-round pick was ruled out later in the fourth quarter.

«Yeah, it's unfortunate,» coach Brian Daboll said. «Unfortunately, he got hurt.»

The Giants realized something was wrong between quarters. Dart went to the blue medical tent, and his helmet was eventually taken out and placed on the side.

«So, with Dart it was going back out on the field, just didn't seem right. So called the trainers over and said, 'Let's get him out and make sure he gets looked at,'» Daboll said. «So, he went in and got looked at, evaluated for concussion.»

Daboll later added «somebody said something» on the sideline that indicated that Dart wasn't right.

His teammates didn't notice anything in the huddle. They didn't realize Dart was potentially leaving the game until Wilson began taking snaps on the sideline with backup center Austin Schlottmann.

«I don't remember what the stoppage was. But Austin went over to take snaps over with Russ and we saw the blue tent up, and we just kind of assumed, like, all right, I guess something happened to Jaxson at some point,» guard Greg Van Roten said. «And, you know, he was out. And that was it.»
