Jaxson Dart #giants Left knee injury on this play. Defender hits his knee from the outside. His foot briefly touches the ground but is not planted. This forced his knee into valgus which stresses the MCL. His foot was hardly on the ground so hopefully spares the ACL.

Yeah it was kind of sad but he looked like a guy who is a talk show, host, doing weird sports things in the non football months and someone who just shows up to be a backup. I know that isn't 100% true and im sure he is still working hard but you can tell he is cooked and looked like someone where backup qb in the nfl isn't his passion.

I watched that hit (and the replay) and said "Oof" both times. I wondered if it was wise to let him walk off the field, but hey, there are a couple of guys out there with him that know a LOT more than me so I guess it's OK. Note that I have bad knees and I am always "knee protective." lol

I've got a grade 1 mcl sprain at the moment, and the pain and discomfort just doesn't go away. Admittedly I'm in my late 30s and a touch overweight but I'm guessing it's easier on the MCL to walk upstairs than it is to avoid 300lb of man meat looking to smash you through the ground.

Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart is believed to have suffered a sprained MCL during Monday night's 28-6 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo.

Dislocation typically become a lot easier to re-dislocate so no idea wtf he's doing. At least work on the arm muscles to give the ligaments some help.

Not even close. Kaepernick was ethical, compassionate, and courageous. Dart is a vile MAGA bigot who delights in the pain and suffering of immigrants in ICE concentration camps. Kaepernick lost his job for speaking out. Dart got injured doing what he's paid millions to do. No sympathy for Dart.

Idk what ball you’re watching the bad hits caused his concussions and since he’s been fine. This play he got hurt in the pocket on a regular sack.
