Jaxson Dart will start on Monday night

The New York Giants have confirmed that quarterback Jaxson Dart will start in Monday night's game against the New England Patriots after clearing concussion protocol. Interim head coach Mike Kafka announced the decision, marking Dart's return after missing two games due to an injury sustained in Week 11 against the Chicago Bears. This game will be Dart's first under Kafka, who was promoted following the firing of former head coach Brian Daboll. Kafka, who continues as the offensive play-caller, may adjust the game plan to reduce Dart's risk of injury. Additionally, Kafka expressed optimism about defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence playing, despite Lawrence's absence from practice this week. Official injury designations will be released on Saturday.
