Dart took a hit from two Los Angeles Rams defenders and sustained a knee injury. He missed the rest of the game, and his status for Week 3 (and beyond) is unclear. X-rays on his knee were negative, and the quarterback reportedly even wanted to return to the game before he was told 'no.' NFL Media and ESPN insider Ian Rapoport's report from Monday, Sept. 21 only indicated that Dart 'is expected to miss some time.' The NFL Media and ESPN insider's report of a possible MCL sprain could give a possible timeline for Dart's return.

Dart knee injury likely MCL sprain; timeline depends on severity revealed by MRI.

Giants QB sustained a knee injury on the first drive of Monday Night Football against the Rams in Week 2 after taking a hit from two defenders. X-rays were negative and he walked off under his own power, but he is expected to miss some time. Ian Rapoport reported a possible MCL sprain; mild grade 1 MCL injuries typically heal in 1–3 weeks, moderate grade 2 in about a month, and severe grade 3 may require a hinged brace for months and limit weight-bearing for 4–6 weeks. An MRI on Tuesday was expected to reveal the full extent of damage.
