Giants Rookie QB Jaxson Dart Exits Game After Hard Hit, Concussion Evaluation
9 Nov
Summary
- Giants QB Jaxson Dart leaves game after hard hit
- Dart had 242 passing yards, 66 rushing yards, 2 TDs before injury
- Russell Wilson replaces Dart as Giants starter in 4th quarter
On November 9, 2025, New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart was forced to leave the game against the Chicago Bears after a hard hit in the third quarter. Dart, who had been the Giants' starting QB since Week 4, was having a strong performance, going 19-for-29 for 242 passing yards and adding 66 rushing yards with two touchdowns.
However, with 5:05 left in the third quarter, Dart was hit hard by Bears defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson on a designed run, resulting in a fumble. Dart remained in the game for the rest of the drive, but was replaced by veteran quarterback Russell Wilson at the start of the fourth quarter.
The Giants later announced that Dart was being evaluated for a concussion. Wilson, who had started the season as New York's QB before being replaced by Dart, took over the offense for the remainder of the game.
This injury comes as a significant blow to the Giants, who had seen a resurgence in their season after Dart took over as the starting quarterback. The 22-year-old had made history by becoming the first QB in NFL history to rush for a touchdown in five consecutive games.
