Attention fanatics! Jaxson Dart returns as the starting quarterback for the New York Giants, ready to lead the team in the next match against the New England Patriots on “Monday Night Football”. This was confirmed by interim coach Mike Kafka. After overcoming the concussion protocol, Dart is fully prepared to take charge and take all the reps with the first team during the week.
The New York team, with a 2-10 record, seeks to break a six-game losing streak. For their part, the Patriots (10-2) arrive with nine straight wins. Dart’s return represents an opportunity to break a streak of 12 consecutive away games lost. Kafka highlighted the importance of having him back on the team. Dart was close to returning last week, but the doctors determined that he was not fit to play. Now, the young quarterback is aware of the need to be more cautious with the hits he takes, after having been evaluated for concussions on several occasions. Dart emphasized the importance of being available to the team and taking responsibility on the field. The player explained that some of the previous evaluations were motivated by other warning signs, such as shortness of breath or numbness, and not necessarily by direct impacts to the head. Despite this, Dart has had to leave the game on four occasions due to these situations, which cost him two games during his rookie season.I’m ready. I’ve been waiting for this. Obviously, these front-page games are the ones you have marked on your calendar. I’m excited to go out, compete at a high level, and do everything in my power to motivate these guys and put our team in the best situation to win.

Dart doesn’t believe he avoided hits in the game against Chicago, where he suffered the concussion. The quarterback praised the Giants’ medical team, despite returning to the game for two more plays after the injury. The game against the Patriots will mark Dart’s first meeting without coach Brian Daboll, who was fired on November 10. Dart expressed his respect and affection for Daboll, highlighting the strong relationship they maintained on and off the field.I’m still adjusting to this game. I’m getting used to this speed, this level. In college, you can see my plays, I rarely slid. This is a different beast. For me, obviously, I have to be more responsible when I’m in the open field. But I felt like I was improving every week.
