Giants’ Jaxson Dart Clears Concussion Protocol to Start Monday vs. Patriots

Independent clearance follows two missed games, reflecting heightened caution over repeated head evaluations.

Overview

  • Dart met with the league-assigned independent neurologist Thursday and was cleared under the NFL’s five-step protocol.
  • Wednesday’s full practice participation came after multiple non-contact sessions and positioned him for final medical approval.
  • Jameis Winston, who went 0-2 in Dart’s absence, returns to a reserve role for Week 13.
  • The Giants are 2-10 and expect Dart to start on Monday Night Football against New England, with a Week 14 bye ahead.
  • Coaches and teammates have emphasized safer decisions on runs for the dual-threat rookie, who has undergone several concussion checks this season.
