EAST RUTHERFORD, NEW JERSEY — Jaxson Dart will miss the rest of the 2026 regular season, and Jameis Winston will start in his place, the New York Giants announced Wednesday after practice.
Dart suffered a knee injury on the opening drive of Monday night’s 28-6 loss at the Los Angeles Rams. Giants coach John Harbaugh confirmed the regular-season timeline four days before the Giants (1-1) host the Tennessee Titans (0-2) at MetLife Stadium. NFL.com reported season-ending knee surgery, with the ACL intact and damage involving the MCL, PCL, and meniscus. Winston, in his second season as a Giant, takes the Week 3 start.
Harbaugh left the postseason door ajar on recovery timing and said the club would build the game plan around Winston’s skill set.
