John Harbaugh discusses Jaxson Dart's concussion check after hard hit
Summary

New York Giants head coach John Harbaugh expressed frustration regarding quarterback Jaxson Dart's frequent concussion evaluations. This followed a hard hit Dart received during the preseason opener against the Minnesota Vikings on August 15. Harbaugh believes Dart's previous concussion history contributes to his repeated trips to the medical tent. Dart, who was diagnosed with a concussion last season, returned to the game after the evaluation and reported feeling puzzled by the process. The Giants plan to focus on improving protection for Dart going forward, especially in their next preseason game against the Miami Dolphins on August 22.
