Jaxson Dart to undergo knee surgery and miss regular season

Jaxson Dart, quarterback for the New York Giants, will undergo surgery for a left knee injury sustained in Week 2. The injury, which requires repair of tears in the medial collateral ligament and meniscus, rules Dart out for the regular season. Recovery may take approximately six months, potentially allowing a return for the playoffs. Medical professionals suggest that while recovery is possible, it is considered unlikely given the type of injury. The Giants may rely on backup quarterbacks Jameis Winston or a free agent moving forward as they aim for a postseason spot.
