Giants prioritizing Dart's durability; QB shows improved self-protection in practice.

The Giants have made keeping Dart on the field a priority this season after he missed two games with a concussion in Week 10 of his rookie year. The organization has emphasized getting him to protect himself more throughout the offseason and into training camp. During a late-game situation drill, Dart demonstrated improved decision-making by sliding feet-first after picking up a first down on a scramble, drawing applause from the defensive sideline and head coach John Harbaugh, who called it 'great' and praised his execution in a critical third-or-fourth-down conversion scenario.
