Mandatory Credit: Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images For the second straight day Thursday, the New York Giants listed quarterback Jaxson Dart as a limited, non-contact participant at practice.
Dart has not been cleared for contact as he progresses through concussion protocol. It remains up in the air whether he will be ready to face the host Detroit Lions on Sunday or be held out for a second straight game.
"If he's healthy and cleared to go, then I'd like Jaxson Dart to play," interim head coach Mike Kafka said Wednesday. "It's only if he's healthy and ready to go, and that's based on what the doctors have to say."
Dart, 22, was injured in the Week 10 loss at the Chicago Bears. The first-round draft pick has completed 62.7% of his passes for 1,417 yards with 10 touchdowns and three interceptions in nine games (seven starts). Dart has also rushed for 317 yards and seven touchdowns.
Jameis Winston started in Week 11 against the Green Bay Packers, passing for 201 yards with an interception as well as a lost fumble on the final play of a 27-20 loss.
