Giants QB Jaxson Dart exits vs. Rams with knee injury

The New York Giants quarterback exited Monday's primetime matchup against the Los Angeles Rams due to a knee injury and was downgraded to questionable.

Dart was hurt on the very first drive of the game, when he threw a pass downfield and took a hit at the end of the play. The Giants QB took a hit from Rams linebacker Byron Young and landed awkwardly, getting wedged between two defenders as he fell to the ground.

As Dart landed, Young also landed on top of him, after which the sophomore was seen clutching his knee in pain. Dart would eventually limp his way to the sideline and then later walk back to the locker room as veteran backup Jameis Winston stepped in for New York's next drive.

Dart entered Week 2 on the heels of a strong showing in the Giants season-opening win over the Dallas Cowboys. He threw for 230 yards and three touchdowns in the 28-20 win.
