"New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart is still in the concussion protocol after missing Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Green Bay Packers, head coach Mike Kafka revealed on Monday morning. Dart suffered the injury during Big Blue's Week 10 loss to the Chicago Bears, which was the final game of Brian Daboll's three-plus-year run as head coach, leaving Kafka not only to contend with an offense sans Dart, wide receiver Malik Nabers, and Cam Skattebo, but with a building that is clearly leaking information to the press to exacerbate an already rotten season."
"Someone within the Giants' organization went to ESPN's Adam Schefter to blame Dart for the concussion he suffered in Chicago. People both inside and outside the Giants organization spoke with Dart and urged the rookie quarterback to be more thoughtful and careful with when and how he runs, Schefter wrote. Dart has been told repeatedly, especially this past week, that missing games hurts his team more than not gaining extra yards and that he can't help his team if he's not in the game."
"That's the fine line, Kafka, the offensive coordinator before stepping in for the fired Daboll, said on Monday. Jaxson he's an aggressive player. That's what we love about him. But you want to show him some examples that he can learn from. I think he's going through that now. I think he'll continue to grow from those things. At the end of the day, he's a competitor and that's why we love this guy"
Jaxson Dart remains in the concussion protocol after missing the 27-20 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Dart sustained the concussion during the Week 10 loss to the Chicago Bears, which coincided with the end of Brian Daboll's tenure as head coach. Sources inside the organization contacted ESPN and blamed Dart for the injury, urging him to be more thoughtful and careful when choosing to run. Quarterbacks coach Shea Tierney has shown Dart videos contrasting aggression with self-preservation to encourage safer decisions. Kafka described Dart as an aggressive competitor and emphasized growth through learning examples. The offense also dealt with absences of Malik Nabers and Cam Skattebo.
