New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart has cleared the final stage of the league's concussion protocol, paving the way for his return on Monday night against the New England Patriots. Dart's clearance by an independent neurological consultant marks a significant positive for the team, as he is expected to be a full participant.

Additionally, linebacker Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles and outside linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux were also listed as not practicing, with Thibodeaux potentially missing a third consecutive game.
The New England Patriots also have a lengthy injury report. Several players, including tight end C.J. Dippre and linebacker Harold Landry, did not practice. The Patriots will also be without defensive coordinator Terrell Williams, who is being treated for a medical issue.
