New York Giants fans couldn't have been more scared after Jaxson Dart was evaluated for a concussion—a protocol no one wants to see—but the team at least clarified the quarterback's situation.

The New York Giants had to send Jaxson Dart into the concussion evaluation protocol, a move that surely frightened team fans. However, according to the latest report, the young quarterback is safe for now and is not in danger of missing the regular season.

Adam Schefter released the report on X, to the relief of Giants fans: “Giants QB Jaxson Dart was evaluated for a concussion but the team said he cleared protocol.” It’s now likely that Dart will be able to start the regular season without issue.

The incident occurred when Dart was trying to run with the ball. He didn’t slide and was tackled by the Patriots’ Gibens, who threw him to the ground. He hit his head hard on the fall, and that’s when his coaches decided to send him to the medical tent, where the quarterback was seen saying, “hurry, hurry, hurry,” signaling that he wanted to get back into the game quickly.
