The NFL has clarified that New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart's evaluation in the blue medical tent during the team's preseason opener was a "standard medical timeout."
League protocol involves multiple independent neurologists and medical trainers reviewing replay for signs of impact or injury behavior that can trigger a check. Dart was forced into the tent late in the first quarter Saturday against the Minnesota Vikings after safety Jay Ward delivered a crushing hit to the torso.
Running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. had missed his blocking ****** ignment, leaving the second-year quarterback exposed.
Dart got up slowly, spent a brief period under evaluation, and returned a few snaps later. On his first play back, he scrambled and found rookie wide receiver Malachi Fields for a 15-yard touchdown. He finished 3-of-4 for 26 yards in limited action.
After the game, Dart expressed clear frustration.
