The Giants got an unwelcome reminder of Jaxson Dart's rookie season when the quarterback went to the sideline medical tent after the end of the first quarter, but they wound up with a happy ending to the offensive possession.
Dart was taken to the tent for a concussion evaluation after being drilled by Vikings defensive back Jay Ward on a sack and Jameis Winston entered the game in his place. Winston converted a long third down with a short pass to running back Devin Singletary that turned into a 40-yard gain and that gave Dart enough time to return to the game.
On his first play back, Dart scrambled long enough to find rookie wide receiver Malachi Fields in the end zone for a 15-yard touchdown.
The sequence played out positively for the Giants while also underscoring the need to keep Dart in the lineup this season. Dart's shown signs that he's willing to do his part in practice and the team will be hoping Saturday's scare is the last they'll have for quite a while.
