US EditionJaxson Dart Confirms Stance Against NFL Officiating After Mike Kafka’s Clear Statement
Giants rookie Jaxson Dart has undergone five concussion evaluations this season, raising concerns about the NFL's concussion protocol and its impact on his playing time.
- On Sunday, Jaxson Dart was sent to the blue medical tent for a concussion evaluation in the fourth quarter of the Giants' 29-21 loss, with the play at the 1-yard line and 11:38 remaining.
- The tackle by Eddie Goldman and Javon Kinlaw produced an awkward head-and-neck fold, and Dart has undergone five concussion evaluations since entering the NFL.
- Interim head coach Mike Kafka said officials made Dart leave to be tested while the Giants medical team escorted him to the blue tent and Jameis Winston ran two plays.
- Dart missed two plays as he cleared protocol, then returned, and he criticized referees and concussion spotters, saying he feels singled out.
- Critics pointed to Dart's Nov. 9 stay-injury as a contrast to Sunday's removal, while Giants coaching staff designed fewer runs for Dart, balancing a playstyle versus protection dilemma.
