Giants' Jaxson Dart clears concussion protocol, poised for QB1 return Monday vs. Patriots

New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart has cleared concussion protocol and will resume his starting role for the team's Monday night game against the New England Patriots. Dart was sidelined after suffering a concussion in a Week 10 loss to the Chicago Bears, missing the following two games. Despite efforts from backup quarterback Jameis Winston, the Giants lost both matches during Dart's absence. The upcoming game will be Dart's first under interim head coach Mike Kafka, following the firing of Brian Daboll.

Dart, a first-round pick from Ole Miss, has recorded 1,417 passing yards, 10 touchdowns, and three interceptions this season, alongside 317 rushing yards and seven rushing touchdowns. The Giants, currently on a six-game losing streak, hold a 2-10 record and will face the 10-2 Patriots at 8:15 PM ET. Dart's aggressive rushing style will be closely monitored as he returns to the field.
