New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart concluded his rookie year preseason with another fine performance, capped by an injury scare.
After a 23-yard run on fourth down late in the first quarter Thursday night against the New England Patriots, Dart tried to run over two defenders. He fumbled, and his head slammed to the ground. The officials stopped play and required him to leave the field.
Jameis Winston threw a 30-yard touchdown pass on the next play while Dart was examined.
Dart was checked in the blue medical tent before emerging minutes later. It was announced that he cleared the concussion protocol, but he didn't return to the game when the Giants got the ball back in the second quarter.
Dart's fine preseason concluded with 32-of-47 passing (68.1%) for 372 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions. He had six rushes for 52 yards with one touchdown.
