Dart, 22, suffered a concussion in the fourth quarter of the Giants’ 24-20 loss to the Chicago Bears two weeks ago. The Giants were winning the game at the time of his injury, but lost the lead when Russell Wilson took over.
The 2025 first-round pick was injured on a designed quarterback run, during which he took a hard hit and lost the ball. Before the injury, Dart was playing well against the Bears, as he had completed 19 of 29 passes for 242 yards while rushing for 66 yards and two touchdowns.
