Giants QB Jaxson Dart remains in concussion protocol and won't play at Detroit
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) --- New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart
will miss a second consecutive game because of a concussion.
Interim coach Mike Kafka said Friday that Dart remains in the NFL's concussion
protocol and will not play Sunday at Detroit. Journeyman Jameis Winston is set
to start again in Dart's absence, with Russell Wilson backing up.
Dart was knocked out of the Giants' game against the Bears on Nov. 9 after
taking a hit to the head. He did not play last weekend when New York hosted
Green Bay.
The team hoped Dart would progress quickly enough to get cleared to face the
Lions. The 22-year-old was a limited participant in practices Wednesday and
Thursday and would have needed to take part fully Friday to play.
Winston was 19 of 29 for 201 yards passing with a rushing touchdown and an
interception in a 27-20 loss to the Packers that dropped New York to 2-9 this
season.
