Questions will persist about New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart’s ability to stay healthy over the next year after he suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 2. What people won’t question — Dart’s toughness.
Dart showed his focus is 100 percent in the right place when news emerged Friday morning that he was already undergoing surgery to have his knee fixed.
It’s a speedy timeline similar to what happened after Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes tore his ACL in Week 15 of the 2025 regular season and was able to return for Week 1 of the 2026 regular season.
“Jaxson Dart’s knee surgery will be today, per sources,” ESPN’s Jordan Raanan wrote on his official X account on Friday morning. “The belief is it will be a meniscus and MCL repair. Dart was injured in Monday night’s 28-6 loss to the Rams. Coach John Harbaugh said Dart will be out for the regular season.”
“Giants QB Jaxson Dart will undergo knee surgery today, per sources,” The Athletic’s Dan Duggan wrote on his official X account on Friday morning. “The surgery will be a full repair of his meniscus. He also has damage to his MCL and PCL, so those will be addressed if necessary, but the meniscus is the primary issue. The timeline for recovery is expected to be four-to-six months. John Harbaugh didn’t rule out the possibility of returning for the playoffs, if the Giants make it. The surgery is taking place at the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan.”
