Giants' Dart to return vs. Patriots after clearing concussion protocol
New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart is set to return Monday against the New England Patriots after clearing concussion protocol, the team announced Thursday.
Dart has missed the last two games after sustaining the head injury in Week 9 against the Chicago Bears.
Interim head coach Mike Kafka made the switch to Jameis Winston after the Giants fired Brian Daboll. The veteran went 0-2 with Dart sidelined but is coming off a performance in which he racked up over 400 total yards and three touchdowns.
Dart, who was named the starter in Week 4 after the Giants benched Russell Wilson, is 2-4 this season. He took the league by storm after topping the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles on Oct. 9.
The 22-year-old has 1,417 passing yards and 17 total touchdowns this season. New York is 2-9 heading into Monday Night Football.
