EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Jaxson Dart has been playing through a hamstring injury since making and winning his first NFL start late last month. He does not plan to let it keep him off the field.
The rookie quarterback brushed off any concern about the sore hamstring Tuesday and insisted he'll play for the New York Giants on Thursday night when they host reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia.
“Never a doubt,” Dart said. “I feel good. I'm excited.”
After being listed as a limited participant on the practice report Monday, Dart was estimated to be full go Tuesday, though the Giants did only what coach Brian Daboll calls a “jog-through.”
Dart missed time on Sept. 28 against the Los Angeles Chargers while being evaluated for a concussion but played the entire game this past weeken
