**Jaxson Dart's season-ending left knee injury in Week 2 has eliminated his opportunity to add to his rushing touchdown total during the 2026 regular season.** The New York Giants quarterback suffered damage to his meniscus, MCL, and PCL (ACL intact) on a hit during the loss to the Rams, leading to surgery and placement on injured reserve with a 4-6 month recovery timeline. This follows a 2025 rookie campaign in which Dart rushed for nine touchdowns alongside 487 yards while starting 12 games as a mobile option in the Giants' offense. Through his two 2026 appearances, he recorded zero rushing scores on 11 carries for 54 yards before the injury. Jameis Winston has taken over as starter, with the team exploring additional quarterback depth.
