Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart criticizes NFL medical tent after preseason hit

Jaxson Dart said he keeps ending up in the blue medical tent after hard hits, following a preseason game in which he returned to throw a touchdown.

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart said he was frustrated with the NFL’s blue medical tent process after leaving Saturday’s preseason game briefly following a heavy hit. He later returned and threw a touchdown, but said the repeated visits have become a pattern.

Dart told reporters that he seems to wind up in the tent whenever he takes contact, raising questions about how the league’s sideline evaluation system is handled. His comments came after the latest stoppage in the Giants’ exhibition game.

The quarterback’s remarks add another public complaint about the league’s concussion-check procedure, which is designed to remove players for medical assessment after possible head injuries. The blue tent is used so team and league medical staff can examine players away from the field before deciding whether they can continue.
