?Can the Giants survive without their starter? Coach John Harbaugh confirmed Dart requires knee surgery, yet he left the recovery timeline vague.
Regular season at least, I’d say,” Harbaugh said via SNY Giants video.
I told you, regular season. Beyond that, who can say? Recovery will dictate any postseason chance,” Harbaugh explained.
Dart’s sidelining trims the Giants’ playoff odds.
Missing Dart feels like a major setback; the team now must scramble for a spark. He will undergo surgery to repair a torn MCL and meniscus in his left knee, reports say.
Initially, the team hoped the injury wasn’t season‑ending, but the MRI proved otherwise, prompting imminent surgery.
“It’s a huge loss, no doubt,” Harbaugh admitted, noting the quarterback’s importance.
Dart attended Wednesday’s meetings, grappling with the reality that his third season ends after just two games.
“He’s resolute but down,” Harbaugh observed. “The season continues, yet for him it’s over. We discussed his grief; mourning is natural.”
Jameis Winston steps in as starter while the Giants scout veteran talent to pair with Jake Haener behind him. Harbaugh reminded the squad, “It’s not a one‑game man.”
We must become the best Giants possible,” he urged. “Will the new roster chemistry carry us into the playoffs?”
