Jaxson Dart, New York Giants and Patriots
Digest more
Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart cleared concussion protocol on Thursday, setting the stage for him to return Monday night against the Patriots.
New York's returner Gunner Olszewski was also ruled out after suffering a concussion on a vicious helmet-to-helmet hit from Patriots LB Christian Eliss on a kickoff return during the second quarter.
Interim coach Mike Kafka said Friday that Dart remains in the NFL’s concussion protocol and will not play Sunday at Detroit. Journeyman Jameis Winston is set to start again in Dart’s absence, with Russell Wilson backing up.
