Jaxson Dart concussion injury: What happened to New York Giants quarterback? Russell Wilson starts final period against Chicago Bears

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart left Sunday's game against Chicago Bears after he was hit hard on a designed run in the third quarter. Dart was still in the game on a drive late in the third, but he was replaced by Russell Wilson at the start of the final period. The Giants said the rookie quarterback was being evaluated for a concussion.

Dart was 19 for 29 for 242 yards when he left. He also had six carries for 66 yards and two touchdowns, becoming the first QB in NFL history with at least one rushing TD in five consecutive games. The 22-year-old Dart was shaken up after he was hit by Bears defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson on a run with 5:05 left in the third, resulting in a fumble.

Wilson began the season as New York's starter, but he was replaced by Dart after the Giants got off to an 0-3 start. Giants quarterback Russell Wilson entered the game and Jaxson Dart walked to the locker room in the fourth quarter to be checked for a concussion.


Wilson completed both of his pass attempts for 45 yards and led a run-heavy scoring drive capped by Younghoe Koo's 19-yard field goal with 10:19 left to give the Giants a 20-10. New York stopped the Bears on a fourth-and-3 in their own territory to get the ball right back.

After the scoring drive, Dart officially was ruled out for the remainder of the game. Dart's head hit the ground hard after a fumble. He moved slowly to the sideline and walked behind the team bench area before heading into the locker room with team medical personnel.

Dart had two rushing touchdowns before leaving the game. He completed 19 of 29 passes for 242 yards. Wilson's second drive in the fourth quarter ended with a punt.
