A time that used to be full of hope for New York Giants now becomes a guessing game. Quarterback Jaxson Dart’s knee hurt in “Monday Night Football” vs Los Angeles Ramsand while the initial report was encouraging, the injury turned out to be the one that ended his season.
The second-year signal-caller showed plenty of promise in a Week 1 primetime victory over the Dallas Cowboysand people began to fantasize about the heights he and the Giants would reach. But now Dart’s season is over, and the team needs to pivot and evaluate whether it can contend for a playoff spot or more.
New York is overflowing with talent on both sides of the ball, and solid quarterback play under a floor-raising head coach like John Harbaugh can keep the team competitive. Jameis Winston will likely hold the starting duties in the interim, but with his struggles Monday night and Dart missing the rest of the season, the Giants need some insurance at the position.
