The New York Giants just experienced a major injury, as rookie quarterback went down after taking a massive hit on a run. Dart remained on the field for multiple minutes, leading to his having to exit the game.

Dart took a massive shot, and it did look like he may have taken a big hit to the head. Should the concussion evaluators determine that he was hit hard enough to warrant being pulled from the game completely, he will enter concussion protocol.
Dart and the Giants have been rolling against the Philadelphia Eagles. At the time of this writing, the score is 27-17. The young quarterback is a big reason for that, as he currently has 187 yards and one touchdown through the air, along with 51 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown.
Dart has energized the Giants, and fans have been on board with the dynamic rookie. When he entered the blue medical tent, Wilson took the field. His first errant throw was met with tons of boos from the crowd.
The Giants are currently 1-1 with Dart under center, and that record could move to 2-1 if the score maintains the way it has in this divisional showdown.
