what happened to jaxson dart

On October 9, 2025, during a "Thursday Night Football" game between the New York Giants and the Philadelphia Eagles, Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart suffered a significant hit while attempting to evade defenders. He was tackled hard by Eagles linebacker Patrick Johnson and collided forcefully with linebacker Azeez Ojulari, causing him to remain flat on his back on the field in apparent pain. Dart managed to get up and jog off the field to the medical tent for a concussion evaluation. He was assessed for a concussion but was cleared to return to the game after a short absence. During his brief absence, Russell Wilson took over for two plays. Dart returned to the game and continued playing well, leading the Giants to a 34-17 victory with strong passing and rushing stats, including multiple touchdowns. This was not the first time Dart had a concussion scare this season, having been evaluated earlier in the year and in the preseason, but he has so far avoided a serious injury setback despite these scares.
