In brief
Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart suffered a knee injury in Sunday's game, with an MRI coming Tuesday to confirm the damage. Dart likely has a sprained MCL that can heal with rest, but the Giants will know more after Tuesday's MRI results. Originally reported by NBC Sports.
Dart's knee injury diagnosed
Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart is believed to have suffered a sprained MCL in Sunday's game. X-rays came back negative, but an MRI is scheduled for Tuesday to confirm the extent of the damage.
Coach Harbaugh awaits MRI results
Coach John Harbaugh said the preliminary assessment is in the ballpark but emphasized they'll have a clearer picture after Tuesday's MRI. He promised more information once the results come in.
“We'll know more tomorrow. That's in the neighborhood of it, I would say.”
MCL can heal with rest

A sprained MCL typically responds well to rest and rehabilitation. However, if the tendon is completely torn, the recovery timeline and severity would be much worse.
Winston steps in as backup
If Dart misses time, Jameis Winston will take over at quarterback. On Monday night, Winston completed 11 of 27 passes for 111 yards and one interception.
Giants' schedule ahead
New York hosts the Titans on Sunday, followed by games against the Cardinals and a trip to the Commanders. The Giants could still win games even if Dart is sidelined.
In short
Dart likely has a sprained MCL that can heal with rest, but the Giants will know more after Tuesday's MRI results.
